Ampleforth Sleep Out · 11 March 2017

Ampleforth Abbey is home to a community of Benedictine monks who welcome visitors into the Abbey for services, and to explore the extensive and stunning Abbey grounds. History & Heritage The Abbey Church and Visitor Centre offer a fascinating insight into a living monastic community. Founded in 1802, the Benedictine community at Ampleforth Abbey is the largest community of monks in the UK. The Abbey Church is filled with furniture, sculpture, and glass from skilled crafts people, including local oak craftsman Robert ‘Mousey’ Thompson. Retreats Our comfortable retreat facilities offer space to rest, reflect and relax away from the routine of everyday life. This place of prayer offers spiritual nourishment for those who seek it. All are warmly welcomed, whether part of a group, for a conference or your own personal retreat. Tea Room Home-made refreshments are available including hot meals and cakes, tea, coffee, and cold drinks including our Ampleforth Abbey apple juice and cider. Outside seating offers stunning views across the Ampleforth valley, and there is baby changing, children’s menu, and plenty of space to park buggies. Explore the Grounds The Ampleforth estate covers 1,200 acres of lakes and woodland in the Howardian Hills National Landscape, with the North York Moors National Park to the north. We welcome walkers and cyclists throughout the year.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

A group of Ampleforth College students will be sleeping outside with just sleeping bags on the 11.3.2017. This is to raise awareness of the many homeless people in Yorkshire.

Any contributions will be donated through Face-Faw to supporting young homeless people in the North East.The Sleep-Out is supporting a charity called Together Middlesbrough and Cleveland, who help develop projects that support the area's most marginalised groups, including the homeless.

As a student project of Face-Faw Ampleforth, we are collecting funds through Ampleforth Abbey Trust. We will start our Sleep-out on Saturday evening, 11 March 2017 at 8pm, with Mass outside where we sleep – to pray for those who are homeless, and to pray that we can share with them and support them.

We invite you to share with us – to donate to help the homeless of the North East.
