Sleep Out to Help Out · 12 April 2024

Established in 1972, we are a rapidly expanding charity that provides support to individuals with mental health issues. We provide supported housing to 63 service users within Stafford, Cannock, Walsall and Penkridge areas. We are a small, highly supportive and collaborative team, providing support to enable individuals to live independently and be valued members of their community. We have arranged a sponsored "Sleep Out" Event which will be held on Friday 22nd April 2022. The aim is to raise awareness of homelessness and raise much needed funds to help local people to furnish a home of their own. Gill Hancocks, a member of staff, along with other participants will brave the elements for a challenging "Sleep Out" Event and would appreciate your support. We also raise money for our local hospitals in Stafford and Cannock.

Story

My daughters, Sarah and Connie have volunteered to Sleep Out for a whole evening (under the supervision of their Dad) and have roped in Sarah's boyfriend Will. This event will take place in the grounds of a local college to raise funds to support those who endure mental health illnesses. They will have a sleeping bag but not have a tent or shelter other than cardboard, this is to replicate the challenge of homelessness, often an outcome of those with mental health problems. My young people want to raise awareness of some of the work Stafford & Cannock League of Hospital Friends do to support those people to move to a home of their own, which makes a significant difference to those who face such mental health challenges. The event is supported by the Rotary Clubs of Cannock & Stafford. Please support them to complete this event, as it will take place even if the weather is inclement!
