Story

Since 2012, members of the Youth Group have been supporting this charity helping the homeless by experiencing a little of what it is like to sleep rough by joining others in the Cathedral grounds one night in November.  There have been disruptions over the past 2 years but we have tried to show we care by having a SleepIn in All Saints' Church in Feb 2020 and then another in Nov 2020 at our homes.  

The Youth Group is delighted that the SleepOut will take place again this year on 26 Nov in Southwark Cathedral grounds!  Our group may be small but we know how important the work of the charity is to help those who have found themselves to be homeless.  Your support will make a huge difference!


Since 2007, Robes has operated across Southwark and Lambeth to provide shelter for people who find themselves homeless in London. Last winter,Robes looked after 48 guests, of whom 30 guests are set for long-termaccommodation (20 guests already in permanent accommodation and council duty to support achieved for 10 guests), as well as providing hot meals and advice support. The SleepOut is one of Robes Project's biggest source of income. This winter, Robes will be operating a Covid-safe static accommodation for 18 guests every night at Davies Court from 1st of November 2021 - 31st of March 2022. The aim is to support the stay and move on of 50 guests. The shelter teams will also be providing hot dinner service and support packages to guests at Davies Court. Robes will also continue providing person-centred advice support and hot lunch meals at Tuesday Club.Help Robes Project help people experiencing homelessness! :)
