Story

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

Here we go again! One of my favourite nights of the year and our biggest annual fundraiser at Matthew's House!

As Co Founder and Project Leader of Matthew's House, I see first hand the challenges people face across Swansea every single day. Homelessness, poverty, addiction, loneliness and mental health struggles are very real, but so is the incredible difference that kindness, practical support and a place to belong can make.

On Friday 13 November, I'll be swapping my warm bed for the cold concrete at the Swansea.com Stadium, alongside others who want to make a difference.

One night sleeping outside doesn't come close to the reality of homelessness. But it gives us an opportunity to raise awareness, share stories and, importantly, raise vital funds.

Last year we raised over £40,000 together with the brilliant Swansea City AFC Foundation. Let's do it again!

Matthew's House means so much to me. We've spent years building a place where people can find food, friendship, practical support and hope, no matter what life has thrown at them.

But keeping those doors open takes an enormous amount of hard work, generosity and financial support. We simply couldn't do what we do without people like you.

Funds raised will also support the fantastic Swans Foundation and their work creating opportunities for children, young people and families across our city.

So I'm asking you personally, could you sponsor me?

Whether it's £5, £10, £20 or more, every donation helps us keep showing up for people who need us. It really does matter.

Thank you for backing me, Matthew's House and this wonderful city we call home.

Let's make every night of hope possible. ❤️
