This October some of the artsNK Dance & National Centre for Craft & Design team are taking on the challenge of a night-time, by staying up from 8pm to 8am, joining thousands of others across the country and going one night without sleep for homeless young people.

STAY:UP raises money to help change the story for thousands of homeless 16-25 year olds in the UK. 110,000 young people experience homelessness every year and the effects can be devastating.

Centrepoint supports young people to recover their health and find a job and home of their own. Their approach works and 88% of those they work with leave Centrepoint positively.

Seven of the artsNK Dance and NCCD will be creating a zine overnight, all inspired by our favourite bedtime stories and fairytales.

Please sponsor us as much as you can because although we're spending just one night outside of our comfort zone, homeless young people will have faced much worse.
