We at Shooters Hill Sixth Form College believe that every
young adult deserves a right to education, however for some this hasn’t been
made possible due to housing and the growth of homelessness. In the last year 121,000
young adults (ages 16-25) have reached out for help with homelessness.

We are holding a sponsored Sleep Out in December. The idea
is for our students to experience what is it like sleeping rough, especially during
the winter. All students who are taking part are volunteering to sleep out by
choice, our students and organisers who are taking part, truly believe that no
one should be sleeping rough without a bed or place to call home. We hope that
our donations can go along way to provide support for these young adults that
do.

This charity works to tackle homelessness of young adults, Centrepoint, works
to provide a warm bed, clothing, on-going mental health services and to get young
adults back into education and off the streets. In London, 94 per cent of
young people move on positively from Centrepoint.

We hope this is a memorable evening and will raise awareness not just in the
students who take part but by the whole college.

Our aim is to raise £500 for CentrePoint. Any donation is greatly appreciated!
