The challenges facing young people who are homeless, leaving care or at risk of homelessness are devasting. These challenges have been seriously exacerbated by the COVID pandemic, and the cost-of-living crisis.

Therefore, Marc and Ellie will be sleeping out on the streets along with a community of people in Bristol and the South West committed to preventing homelessness. Whilst this night does not seek to replicate the harsh experience of being homeless, it gives an idea of what it could be like, whilst raising awareness for the cause, and money for the fantastic charity 16-25 who provide vital support for young people experiencing homelessness.
