On Saturday 26th March 2022, from 8.00pm to 7.00am Sunday, Homeless Action in Barnet and Together in Barnet are challenging you to swap your comfortable bed for a sleeping bag. By giving up your bed for one night, you will help raise desperately needed funds for Homeless Action in Barnet and Together in Barnet. Enabling us to respond to the ever-increasing needs of those most vulnerable in our communities.

Whether it's camping in the garden with friends, building a fort in the living room with the kids, or sleeping out in the office with colleagues, wherever you are, you can make a difference.

This year, there are two ways you can be part of the Big Barnet Sleep Out:

Join us at the main event site If you're over 18 and think you can raise more than £350, you can join a group of fellow sleep-outers on the night!

OR

Take part at home Throw a party, invite family and friends, and build a shelter anywhere, indoors or outdoors you can be as imaginative as you like! It wont be the most comfortable nights sleep, but it will be one of the most meaningful.

If you'd like to join in, the first thing to do is set up your fundraiser page (if you're under 18 you'll need a parent to agree and supervise you setting it up), then start drumming support!

While the sleep out doesn't aim to replicate homelessness, by sleeping out you will get an insight into some of the things people experience when they're rough sleeping night after night, such as cold temperatures, an uncomfortable bed and limited sleep.

So set up your fundraiser page and get ready for the Big Barnet Sleep Out 2022!
