SHU Canoe is taking on the Sleep Out Challenge with Roundabout because homelessness is a big issue in Sheffield. Roundabout's looks after 16-25 year olds which is also the age of our members. Anyone could become homeless at any time and we want to support a charity that does things differently. 

At the Sleep Out we will be learning more about Roundabout and meeting some of the young people. At midnight we will be sleeping on a concrete floor until the morning to gain a small insight to what sleeping outside in winter can be like. 

Roundabout is Sheffield's youth homeless charity. Every day, we provide shelter and support to over 150 young people in Sheffield who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless. You donations will help provide a safe place for young people and help us to provide the support and life skills to help break the cycle of homelessness. Your support will go a long way to changing the lives of some of the most vulnerable young people in Sheffield. Our work is a lifeline for many and supports the young people we work with to prepare for a better future. From £5 which would buy bedding for a young person when they move into the hostel or their own flat to £5,000 which will house a young person for a full year – it all makes a difference to some of the most vulnerable young people in Sheffield.
