Story

Homelessness can happen to anyone, at any time and for a young vulnerable person this can place them in a very unsafe place. By taking part in The Big Bolton Sleepout, youll swap your cosy bed for a sleeping bag for one night. Whilst we do not wish to replicate homelessness, the event will give a small insight into some of the harsh realities faced by rough sleepers.

Joining together and shining a light on youth homelessness and raising vital funds we can transform the lives of the young people that have already had many challenges to overcome. If you believe they deserve a future then brave the night in the cold for Backup.
