Sleep Out does not aim to replicate homelessness and what it is like to be lonely, frightened, and vulnerable, but it does give participants a small glimpse of some of the challenges homeless people may face. It is an important fundraising event for our charity to help prevent youth homelessness and support local young people to take their next steps to leading successful independent lives. In today’s climate of funding cuts, the cost of living and uncertainty following the pandemic, fundraising has become more important than ever. Thank you for your support.
