Event: Greater Change (Home) Sleep Out, from 8 October 2021 to 9 October 2021
Sadly, not having a home is the reality for many people. Raise vital funds to help support people experiencing homelessness to fulfil their life by sleeping out for one night. 100% of funds raised go directly to support a client out of homelessness

Story

For obvious reasons we cant arrange a big fundraising sleepout this year. But for one night, we are encouraging you to give up the comfort of your bed and sleep out in your garden, shed, garage, kitchen, office, or somewhere different in a safe, secure way and as Tier Level restrictions permit. Why a Sleep Out? The idea behind the sleep out is to gain just a small insight into what it is like to have no home or warm bed to return to at night. Sadly, not having a home is the reality for many people. Many will be spending 2021 alone on the streets, in cars, hostels, squats or other unsuitable accommodation. Greater Change supports people who, with funding, can make long-term positive changes in their lives. We provide support to anyone who is homeless or at immediate risk of becoming homeless. We are incredibly proud to say that 70% of the people that we help get into and sustain long term accommodation, and that nearly 40% have secured gainful employment.
