Story
The Big Sleepout aims to raise vital funds for our work with homeless and vulnerable adults in Leamington Spa, Warwick and Kenilworth to help them move on from their current circumstances and be positive contributors to our area.
During the pandemic much of our regular fundraising has been lost due to the Covid lockdowns. We lost income through our shop, cafe and we had to cancel all events planned. We are really pleased that we can get back to holding our annual Sleepout.
We want to use this opportunity to think more about the issues of homelessness and the difficult circumstances that people who are homeless often have to contend with.
The event will be informative, a real challenge but also a fun evening for all involved. Well hear first hand from local people who have been supported through our projects.
Location - All Saints Parish Church
The event will have all Covid measures in place as advised by the government at the time. For security we will have the army on site and first aiders.
Spending one night sleeping out will not provide a true experience of how it feels to be homeless. However, youll find this a challenging and rewarding experience and be helping to support the most vulnerable in our local area.
