The World's Big Sleep Out
Campaign by Depaul (RCN 20048938)
The Worlds Big Sleep Out is a one-off charity campaign with the aim to help 1 million people experiencing homelessness around the world through a global programme of Sleep Out events in December 2019.

Story

On December 7th 2019, we will sleep out on a freezing cold night as part of the World's Big Sleepout campaign.

In Ireland, we will be finishing 2019 with almost 10,500 people without a home. On our walk to the GPO every morning, we see someone sleeping rough in almost every door way. We are all fully aware of this staggering number but have grown too accustomed to seeing people sleeping on the street. Not anymore, this needs to change. We are taking the first step by joining ‘The Worlds Big Sleep Out’ on the 7th of December where 50 cities will take part in the hope of raising a greater awareness of The Homeless Crisis. As a team we decided there was no other option and hope our efforts will help some people sleeping outside on this cold winter nights. With your help, no donation is too big or too small we can not only help but actually get people off the streets and into homes where they should be. It isn’t until you take a step back and stop casting an eye, you realize how good you have it, how mundane things are to you and me.. and how the simple task of brushing your teeth or being warm at night, is not a privilege of 10 and a half THOUSAND people in Ireland, right now.  


Thank you for reading and we really appreciate all the help we can get, hoping to combat this Homeless Crisis ❤️
