A team from Woodstock will be spending a night sleeping rough to raise awareness and funds to support those experiencing homelessness.

Thousands of people sleep rough in dangerous conditions every night in the UK. We are proud to support the YMCA in their mission to support our local community.

It’s both a challenging and rewarding experience – we will build shelters out of cardboard boxes and tarpaulins and will spend a night in the open air.

YMCA Bournemouth works across areas including Housing & Support, Family & Relationships, Youth Work, Training & Education, and Health & Wellbeing to enable people in our local community to develop their full potential in mind, body and spirit.

Donations from this year’s event will go towards developing the 60 new units of accommodation that are planned for their Westover / Hinton Road site.

Please give generously if you can.
