Story

Myself and the team at THERMARMOUR are taking part in the Big Sleepout in Halifax on the 8th March!

The aim of the Happy Days Big Sleepout is to increase awareness and raise funds to end homelessness...

Happy Days supports and empowers people who are homeless or in crisis to live independent and purposeful lives by helping them to access the advice and services they need. Unfortunately, they've recently seen a huge increase in people accessing their services, and rely solely on funding to support their with Winter Shelter, Community spaces and drop in services.

Please join us in supporting this important cause!

As well as sleeping out in solidarity, we will be donating anti-hypothermia blankets to Happy Days and fellow Sleep-outers and putting our anti-hypothermia bags to the test overnight!

Any donations in support of the Sleepout would be much appreciated - thank you in advance!

Happy Days supports and empowers people who are homeless or in crisis to live independent and purposeful lives by helping them to access the advice and services they need to bring about sustainable change. We do this by providing a wide range of services including an engagement service which connects people with the specific support they need. We listen to each person individually and create a plan specifically designed to help that person; we gain trust and build real relationships in order to help people. Happy Days meets the growing demands of those struggling to cope with the cost of living crisis by operating a broad range of services that tackle homelessness and food poverty. These include The Winter Shelter, Halifax Community Supermarket and The Community Café at The Gathering Place. For single adults who are homeless, the charity operates supported accommodation and services that are designed to help residents move on and live independently. This may include support to overcome addiction, skills to sustain employment and tenancy and specialist input for mental health and trauma. Our vision is to be a leading and highly valued provider of services to people who are homeless or in crisis.
