On Friday 26 June 2026, ALABARÉ will host its first ever BIG Sleep at St Paul’s Cathedralever public sleepout, bringing people together in a powerful act of solidarity for veterans facing homelessness.

Why We’re Sleeping Out

Veterans across the UK are experiencing a growing homelessness crisis:

2,270 veteran households in England are homeless or at risk

An estimated 7,500 veterans UK-widewide are homeless or in emergency accommodation

13,231 people slept rough in London last year, including many former service personnel

ALABARÉ has seen a 121% increase in veterans needing urgent support

This campaign exists because these numbers aren’t just statistics — they’re people who served our nation and deserve better.
