Raising money for Julian House

The Big Basingstoke Sleep-Out · 24 March 2023 ·

We're challenging you to join us on Friday 24th March in May's Bounty Sports Ground in Basingstoke (or to sleep out at your own home) and help raise vital funds and awareness for people forced to sleep-out every night.

Story

Every year, Julian House supported over 2000 vulnerable and at risk individuals.

In life surprisingly little needs to go wrong or start badly for any of us to find ourselves homeless and on the streets. For those that do, the streets can be a very harsh place to spend a single night alone let alone night after night. You might be forgiven for thinking that there are government agencies that take care of this but the sad truth is these people fall between the cracks of society and this is where charities like Julian House come into their own. They help those unfortunate enough to find themselves deep down inside those cracks to climb out and get back onto their feet. You won’t be surprised to learn that this isn’t inexpensive to do but is very expensive to leave undone, morally, monetarily and to society. A society can best be judged by how it looks after the most troubled, vulnerable and least fortunate among us. So we’re asking for sponsorship through this Just Giving page (details below) and your donation can be enhanced by 25% through Gift Aid if you are a Tax Payer. This money goes directly to the charity to fund it’s local activities, running it’s street teams and safe houses, to lift these people back into society, where they can be seen by government agencies (having an address) and get the the help they need, even help them to find work, stability and the independence the rest of us may enjoy and maybe take for granted. Please, give whatever you can afford, be it pennies or pounds, it all helps. Society isn’t just a word, it’s all of us or it’s none of us.
