What is Sleep Easy?

Sleep Easy is a fundraising initiative aimed at transforming the lives of people at risk of homelessness or living in poverty within our local community. For one night, dozens of courageous participants will trade their warm beds for sleeping bags, enduring chilly temperatures for a night under the stars.

We invite you to take on this challenge to raise awareness of homelessness and generate essential funds for YMCA Fylde Coast’s housing provision. Your support will help us continue providing vital assistance to those who need it most. Together, we can make a difference.

How Does Sleep Easy Help?

Each night, we provide housing for 29 individuals who find themselves without a home. Throughout 2023/24 we supported 99 homeless people. Beyond shelter, we offer a range of essential services to support our community, including warm, safe spaces; access to home-cooked meals, and guidance on critical issues like healthcare, welfare, housing, and debt.

Funds raised through Sleep Easy enables our teams to continue delivering this vital support. This includes access to counselling, daily activities, healthcare, employability, and education. Our goal is to help those we serve build positive pathways toward belonging, contribution, and thriving futures.
