Why the Big Sleep Out?

On Friday 20th March, I’ll be sleeping out on the Big Bank at St James Park, the home of Exeter City FC, as part of the Big Sleep Out in support of Exeter City Community Trust. It's a place I've spent a lot of time on but I'm lucky that I have a house to return to after game day.

The Trust's Supported Housing Service - a part of ECFC Community Trust - provides safe, temporary accommodation and personalised support to help individuals rebuild confidence, develop life skills, and move towards independent living. For many, this support is the first step towards long-term stability.

By spending one night out in the cold, I’m helping to raise awareness and vital fund to help support people in our local community who are experiencing homelessness or rough sleeping.

The service provides safe, temporary accommodation and personalised support to help individuals rebuild confidence, develop life skills, and move towards independent living. For many, this support is the first step towards long-term stability.

I’d be incredibly grateful for your support. Every donation, big or small, helps make a real difference - instead of a pasty at the game, how about a donation?

£17.40 can provide a safe bed for a night

£20 can provide essential starter items

£30.49 can cover a week of utilities

Thank you for supporting me and our community. UTC.
