Event: Big Basingstoke Sleep-Out: At Home, on 5 March 2021
Stand up against homelessness. Challenge yourself to sleep out for just one night and help raise vital funds and awareness for men and women forced to do so every night.

Story

I finished my first season cooking at the Night Light winter shelter in February 2020 and want to do more to help homeless and at-risk people in my area. 

I don't do a lot of fundraising, because I think you should only ask for money if it's something you won't enjoy doing - from what I can tell, I won't enjoy this, so please sponsor me!

This was originally due to take place in March 2020, but we all know what happened next. For this postponed event I'll be sleeping in my garden on the night of Friday March 5, which makes it easier in some ways and harder in others (no St John's Ambulance support, no morale-raising camaraderie and I'll have to make my own tea!)

Julian House provides life changing support to over 1,400 vulnerable individuals across the South West, including those suffering from homelessness, women and children escaping domestic abuse and adults with learning difficulties. 

Alongside our emergency hostel, we also provide supported accommodation and training and education opportunities to help people gain confidence, re-build their lives and fulfil their potential.
