Story

Raise money for the Caritas Big Sleep Out 2023, and we will ensure that people have the support they need to prevent them from becoming homeless, that people who do become homeless are helped to secure safe accommodation with the support they need to make a new home, and that no one has to sleep rough. For example, sponsorship could pay for:

£30 - time with a key worker to help start an application for Homelessness and get someone into accommodation.

£50 - hot lunch for 80 people at one of the day centres.

£60 - a new set of clothes (e.g. tracksuit bottoms, t-shirt, sweatshirt, underwear) and toiletries for someone sleeping rough.

£79 - for a basic smart phone for someone who is homeless, so that they can keep in touch with support services and make online applications for housing, benefits and jobs.

£100 - new bedding and household essentials for a young family fleeing domestic violence.

£1,500 - sponsor a room for a year to prevent someone being homeless.

We are grateful to everyone taking part and to all of their sponsors. No gift is too small.

We have five Caritas homelessness projects: Red Door in Bury, Cornerstone Day Centre and Morning Star Hostel in Manchester, and Young Parents' Supported Accommodation in Bolton and Blackburn.
