Sleep Out for the Homeless 2024 · 23 February 2024

Feed Up Warm Up is a North Hertfordshire based charity supporting those who are homeless and those at risk of homelessness. We operate 2 weekly drop in centres in Hitchin and Stevenage where anybody is welcome to come and spend the evening with us. We offer live music, counselling services, a hot meal, free haircuts, food parcels, addiction advice and a warm welcoming smile and a chat. We support on average 100 guests a week between both drop in services. We also have an outreach team who respond to local referrals from other charities and agencies. During the pandemic we have reached out to local struggling families who have been directly impacted by the pandemic by delivering weekly food parcels and other support services. Through this particular service we have made up and delivered over 2600 food parcels which equates to 11,000 individuals since April 2020. We are funded purely by donations from kind members of the public and local businesses. Our belief is that all people should be treated with dignity, respect, kindness, equality and included in the local community.

Story

The 1st Arlesey Scout Troops and Dambuster Explorers will once again be giving up their beds for a night. This year we will be sleeping out to raise money for Feed Up Warm Up, a homeless charity based in Hitchin and Stevenage who offer food and friendship to those in need. By doing this they will experience some of the discomfort that thousands of people go through each year. Our Sleep Out for the Homeless will be taking place from the 23rd to 24th February.

Together we can raise vital funds to provide a safe, welcoming space, one evening a week, where those in need can pop by to enjoy a hot meal and a chat, hear some live music, and find practical and emotional help.
