Event: The Cambridge Sleepout 2022, from 5 February 2022 to 6 February 2022
Nobody should sleep outside in winter but many people have no choice. Help us support the homeless on the streets of Cambridge and the refugees in northern France by sponsoring our event. You can sponsor a particular sleeper, or the event as a whole

Story

Nobody should sleep outside in winter but many people have no choice. For the homeless on the streets of Cambridge and the refugees in northern France, who sleep on waste land around Calais and Dunkirk, homelessness is not their fault. They may be in this situation because they have lost their job, have family or health problems, have fled persecution, or because their home was destroyed by bombs. They all face the same struggles, conditions and stigmatisation.Help us support these people by joining our sponsored sleepout in the beautiful setting of St Giles' Church on the corner of Castle Hill, from Saturday evening to Sunday morning. There will be a winter fair on Saturday afternoon, an evening meal and breakfast will be provided, and you can choose how you want to sleep: inside the church, outside in a tent, or outside under a tarpaulin!We will use the proceeds from the event to support CamCRAG's work in Northern France, and our charity partner Cambridge Cyrenians
