Bolton Wanderers in the Community, in partnership with Bolton Wanderers Football Club and Urban Outreach, are hosting the second sleepout at the Toughsleep Community Stadium.

This year the event will also be supporting Emmaus Bolton and Backup Northwest, with the aim to raise funds to support some of the most vulnerable people living in Bolton.

Open to those aged 18 and over, the event will take place pitchside on Friday 22nd March and will offer business leaders, BWFC fans and the local community the unique opportunity to spend the night sleeping under the stars at the home of the Wanderers.

Bolton Wanderers in the Community deliver projects and initiatives to support children, families and older adults who may be experiencing hardship and multiple disadvantages, exacerbated by the current economic climate.

Urban Outreach deliver services to move homeless people and those who are difficult to house into suitable and sustainable accommodation so no one has to resort to living on the streets of Bolton at any time.

Emmaus Bolton offers a home, family and work to formerly homeless people in a residential community setting. People can live and work sharing a life together, but retaining their own dignity and independence. At Emmaus everyone is accepted for who they are now and not judged on what they might have been in the past.

Backup Northwest provide supported accommodation to young people aged 16-25 who are homeless, or at risk of homelessness. This includes emergency housing, temporary accommodation, and short and medium stay supported housing

Only together can we own the aspiration that no one should be without a home, and we remain committed to seeing a dream fulfilled that no one sleeps rough in our great town of Bolton.
