This will be the third year that we have taken part in the Sleepout and, as always, we will be doing it without a tent in the hope of raising as much money as possible.

The more personal stories we hear and the more time we spend meeting the staff and service users at Wellspring, the more important this cause becomes to us. Homelessness remains a significant issue in today's society, and the support that Wellspring provides to the people of Stockport is invaluable. From offering practical support and medical treatment to providing a hot meal and a safe place to be during difficult times, their services make a real difference to people's lives.

We know that spending one night without a roof over our heads cannot truly reflect the reality of homelessness. However, the Sleepout gives us an opportunity to reflect on the challenges faced by people who are sleeping rough or at risk of homelessness.

Every donation, no matter how big or small, helps the Wellspring continue its vital work and ensures that those who need support receive it. We hope you will consider sponsoring us and helping the Wellspring not only continue to operate, but to grow its services supporting people across Stockport when they need it most.
