I'm taking part in the Swans BIG Sleep Out 2026!

Since I have been volunteering this year at Matthew’s House in Swansea I have become increasingly aware of how sadly homelessness, poverty and loneliness continue to affect people across Swansea.

For one night, I'll be swapping my bed for the stadium concrete at the Swansea.com Stadium. While I know this is no comparison to the reality faced by people experiencing homelessness, it's an opportunity to reflect, show people they are not alone and play a small part in making a difference.

Funds raised will support the work of two fantastic local organisations: Matthew's House provides practical support, food, community and hope for people facing homelessness, poverty and isolation. Swansea City AFC Foundation creates opportunities for children, young people and families through programmes that improve health and wellbeing, and help ensure nobody misses out on the things many of us take for granted.

Every donation, big or small, will help provide support, opportunity and hope for people who need it most.

Thank you for your support.
