We (Hannah Williams and Tony Leech) are participating in a sponsored sleepout for the Cambridge Convoy Refugee Group (CamCRAG) and the Cambridge City Foodbank, spending the night outside in St. Giles' Church grounds to fundraise for refugees and the homeless.

No one should have to sleep rough in winter, but over the coming months dozens of homeless people in Cambridge and thousands of refugees in Northern France will face the bitter reality of trying to sleep in freezing cold, wet, and wretched conditions.

The Cambridge Convoy Refugee Group (CamCRAG) in cooperation with the Cambridge City Foodbank are hosting the "Fundraising For Refugees And The Homeless" event at St Giles' Church, Castle Street, Cambridge over the weekend of 7th -8th March 2026. This event highlights the fact that these people all face the same problems, and that they share a common humanity, and that homelessness is not their fault.

They may be in this situation because they have lost their job, have family problems, have suffered illness, or because they face imprisonment and torture in their home country. Our message is that it doesn't matter - they deserve help without judgement, wherever and whoever they are.
