Story

Hello from,

Layla, Georgia, Isla, Max, Sienna S, Olivia, Isabella, Frankie, Joshua, Pip, Elizabeth, Hannah, Junior, Alice, Rosa, Craig, Jess, Grace, Ilai, Noah, Erin, Mayaan, Gali, Talia, Marcus, Lilly, Sophia, Bella, Eliana and Alissa. 

Thank you so much for visiting our sponsorship page! On Saturday 21st November and Saturday 28th November we are all going to be camping out in our gardens, garages, barns or living rooms. We would love for you to sponsor our Friends Sleep Out so that the money we raise can be given to the Charity Centrepoint to provide safe rooms, support and training to young people who have no home and nowhere else to go. 

We feel very lucky that we have family to look after us but lots of young people don't have happy homes with family who can support them. Sometimes it isn't safe for them to be at home because their family hurt them or can't look after them, they are forced to run away because if they stay at home it can be dangerous for them. Last year, Centrepoint found out that 110,000 young people asked for help with homelessness. 

Lots of charities believe that the number of homeless young people is higher than they are even able to record because when young people are homeless they are terrified and they try to hide themselves from dangerous people by sleeping in places that are hard to discover. Although this helps them feel a little more safe, it also means that charities aren't always able to find them to help them. That's why Centrepoint also runs a helpline that young people can call to get help and advice. 

We can't imagine how cold, alone and scared homeless young people must be. Whilst there are lots of different reasons that young people become homeless, we know that to help them, they need a safe place to live and eat, the chance to learn and develop skills and the emotional support to help them build their confidence.

We really want to support Centrepoint to help as many homeless young people as possible. Please help us support these young people to have a safe home by sponsoring our Friends Sleep Out

They need us and we want to show them how much we care.
