The Big Bethany Sleep Out is back and this year it's hybrid! Following the unprecedented success of last years virtual Sleep Out, we're super excited to announce that our Big Bethany Sleep Out is returning on the 11th of March with both in-person and at-home formats! Will you join us this year?
We are challenging you to get out of your comfort zone: Sleep Out for one night to support people experiencing homelessness in Scotland. While it's one night for us, for many it's a daily reality.
Your support could have a huge impact on peoples lives, for example:
- £40 could provide an emergency food package for someone starting a new Universal Credit claim, including food, laundry detergent, toiletries and sanitary products for female tenants
- £75 could provide regular, safe one-to one support for people in our emergency shared accommodation, helping them access more permanent accommodation following the crisis
- £250 could provide a deposit to move into a private tenancy, securing their accommodation for 6-12 months and creating a safe refuge for vulnerable people that would otherwise have to go to a hostel
There are three options of where you can Sleep Out: In Glasgow and Edinburgh we will be in the city chambers. Or you can join us from home via a livestream.
Where will you Sleep Out this year to support some of the most vulnerable people in Scotland?
