Story

597 homeless individuals died in 2018. These are not just statistics - they are someone's father, mother, son, daughter, brother or sister. They are fellow human beings who are vulnerable and in need.

Homeless Lives Matter. With your support the Trust can seek to reach out to support and care for those who are homeless, in danger of becoming homeless, vulnerable and in need.

Yes you will only be on the streets for one night. Yes you will be choosing to sleep out. Yes you will have the comfort of a sleeping bag, hot drinks and food, the comfort of a toilet. The homeless DO NOT HAVE THE CHOICE: they do not always have a sleeping bag, or access to hot drinks and food, rarely access to a toilet. The homeless are invariably on their own, vulnerable and often fearful of being abused (physically and verbally). But your presence on the streets, even for one night, helps to highlight the issues - our homeless clients DO take comfort from the Sleep Out and they recognise it demonstrates that someone cares!

The funds which you may raise through sponsorship WILL help make a difference! The funds raised makes it possible for the Trust to operate 24-7, 365 days a year reaching out to support those who are homeless, endanger of becoming homeless, are vulnerable or in need. YOUR support is vital for the continuation of our work. Thank you for caring!
