For over 13 years, Hope’s Big SleepOut has been bringing our community together to raise awareness of homelessness and to raise vital funds – with more than £20,000 raised each year to support those who are homeless and vulnerable right here in Northampton.

In 2026, our event theme remains Cold and Unseen – a powerful reminder of the hidden struggles faced by so many people in our community who are forced to sleep rough or live without safe, secure housing.

This is your chance to do something extraordinary. By joining us, you’ll not only raise funds to support Hope’s frontline services but also help shine a light on the daily realities of homelessness. For one night only, you’ll experience just a glimpse of what the homeless community face – braving 12 hours in the cold with nothing more than a sleeping bag and a cardboard or plastic shelter.

Bring your colleagues, friends, and family – or take on the challenge alone. However you join, your presence will make a real difference.
