Organised by Ripon YMCAYour fundraising or donation will go directly to Ripon YMCA to help us continue our vital work in supporting homeless and vulnerable young people locally. We provide housing for 22 young people and provide support to develop their independence.
Join us on the 25th of April to Sleep Out in support of YMCA Ripon.
The YMCA Sleep Easy campaign aims to raise awareness of homelessness particularly in young people.
Homelessness is often hidden, and although some people do sleep rough on the streets, many with no fixed home will find themselves sleeping on a friend’s floor, sofa or in a car.
In the past few years at Ripon YMCA we have worked with many young adults who have slept in tents, sheds, on kitchen floors, on sofas, airbeds or outdoors.
The main reason young people become homeless is due to relationships with family or a partner breaking down. Many of our young people have mental health issues and suffer low mood and lack of motivation.
We invite you to support YMCA Ripon by taking part in the event. You can sleep outside, on your sofa, you can come to the evening event and support other fundraisers efforts. Our goal is to raise fund and awareness of youth homelessness.
Charities pay a small fee for our service. Learn more about fees
