Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page!.
We are taking part in the second Lady Mayoress’s Sleep Out at Guildhall Yard on 16 March 2023 aiming to highlight the rising number of homeless people in the City and to raise vital funds for The Lord Mayor’s Appeal and The Pret Foundation.
SleepOut 2023 will give people like us the chance to ditch our warm beds and get a taste of what it is like for thousands of Londoners sleeping rough every night. We’ll be setting our sleeping bags in the Guildhall Yard overnight on Thursday 16 March 2023!
According to Crisis UK, 45% of people experiencing homelessness have been diagnosed with a mental health issue which rises to 8 out of 10 people who are sleeping rough. By supporting SleepOut 2023 you will help charities such as:
- MQ Mental Health - do research to help us to understand mental health. Tackling hunger, poverty and homelessness in the UK,
- The Pret Foundation - ensures that Pret’s freshly made unsold food reaches people who need it most, supports people into sustainable employment at Pret and awards grants to grassroots homeless charities.
We'd be really grateful if you could support us & help raise awareness and much-needed funds to help tackle the issue of homelessness by simply donating any amount you can spare via our page - please also add Gift Aid if you can as this will help raise more vital funds.
Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
Thank you so much!
