Sleep Easys are YMCAs main fundraising event across the UK since 2010, seeing more than 7,000 people sleep rough and raising more than £1.5m for local YMCA services that help people rebuild and transform their lives. Sleep Easys offer a fantastic challenge to individuals and organisations who wish to help raise awareness of the hardships of homelessness and raise funds for a charity that works to bring homelessness to an end. Participants, who can be individuals, groups or businesses, set themselves a fundraising target before wrapping up warm, building a cardboard shelter and then sleeping rough so others dont have to.
