YMCA Bournemouth BIG Sleep Easy 2025 · 18 October 2025 ·

"Sleeping Rough to support those finding it tough." The BIG Sleep Easy offers a fantastic challenge for businesses, community groups and individuals to build a shelter out of cardboard boxes, sleep out under the stars and raise vital funds for YMCAB.

Story

On the 18th October 2025, once again Lewis Investment will be taking part in The YMCA Bournemouth's BIG Sleep Easy 2025 and "Sleeping Rough to support those finding it tough."

As many of you know, I’ve taken part in this event twice before, guided by the belief that no one should ever be left without a roof over their head, whatever life may bring.

The last 2 times I was there, I somehow brought an extra cold snap with me, so I don’t get invited every year! With each year that passes, the aches set in a little more, and it becomes harder, so this attempt may be my last.

I along with many others, will be building a shelter out of cardboard boxes / masking tape and sleeping under the stars for one night - emulating what many thousands of people that are homeless do in the UK - night after night.

YMCA Bournemouth provide short term accommodation for people that have been sleeping rough. They provide them with care and support to enable them to take on long term secure accommodation.

I am raising funds for them to continue to provide this essential service to some of the most vulnerable people in our society.

Please make a donation so that we can help them to help others.
