Homelessness is a growing issue in our community. For 3,000 years wise men ands women have been highlighting the injustice of homelessness, and here we are in 2025 still trying to solve this serious social issue.

Rentstart has been working with people in our community facing and experiencing homelessness for 24 years - we help to house around 100 people every year, providing tailored trauma-informed support for around 700 people annually.

The SleepOut is an annual event where we invite the community to join us for one cold night to experience, albeit in a safe environment, a night sleeping rough. Taking place at Esher Rugby Club, the SleepOut is in two halves; we celebrate community coming together with food, entertainment, interviews and inspiration. Then, at midnight, it's you in your box. Uncomfortable, sleepless, thoughtful.

17 Claremont Sixth Form students and staff will be sleeping out this year. Experiencing the issues first hand and are grateful for any sponsorship.
