Raising money for Wycombe Homeless Connection

Big Sleepout 2022 · 26 November 2022 ·

Swap your bed for a sleeping bag and help change the lives of people who are homeless, or facing homelessness. This year there are sleepouts at Adams Park, home of Wycombe Wanderers, and people can take part 'at home'.

Story

Wycombe Homeless Connection (WHC) help people like Clive who are homeless or facing homelessness in south Bucks...

Not long before Christmas, Clive knocked on our door for the first time in a few years. Things hadnt been going well; after a period sleeping rough in London, he had recently returned to Wycombe because he had some support locally. He also thought we might be able to help as we had a few years previously.

We gave Clive a place in our winter emergency accommodation. He had a room to himself and a safe, warm place to stay from the cold, wet, long winter. For Clive, being in his late 50s with the health conditions he had, this was life-saving!

By March, Clive was still vulnerable, so we worked with one of our partners who placed him in temporary accommodation. We then brought together help from other organisations, providing Clive with food through the foodbank, health support via our homeless. And as we write, he's just moved into his on home!
