The Year 9 Sponsored Sleep-Out for Emmaus is an exciting charity on the evening of 28th April 2017. Emmaus is an international organisation that supports homeless people, helping them to become self-reliant through working and living together. Pupils have been learning about homelessness in tutorials and by taking part in the Emmaus sleep-out they will commit themselves to sleeping in the open air around the school in order to experience for one night the reality of sleeping on the streets. During the evening there will be a visit from members of Emmaus Cambridge, who will offer support, advice, food, drink and blankets, as they do to rough sleepers around Cambridge. Competitive games will also be played in order to earn ‘money’, blankets, cardboard etc.
