We’re really excited to be supporting Burton’s YMCA sleep out this November!

It will be our first year sleeping out at the Pirelli Stadium and our strong team of ladies from Cosy and Derby Kids Camp (men most welcome, too!) will be joining in solidarity to raise awareness and understanding for those experiencing homelessness.

In our amazing team, we have Amanda, Nikki, Thao, Ruth, Cynthia, Celia, Brooke, Jenean, Ella, Angelina, Helen and myself.

Getting together with friends and work colleagues to sleep rough for a night with the YMCA is more than just a shared adventure; it's a chance to step into the shoes of the homeless and gain a firsthand understanding of their struggles.

By doing this, we not only raise awareness about homelessness but also strengthen bonds within our group.

This experience sparks conversations, fosters empathy, and reminds us of the importance of compassion, reminding us all that we can make a difference, one night at a time.

Imagine you have nowhere to sleep tonight. You have lost your home, nowhere to go, frightened and cold. You may find a dry place to rest in a doorway, or the rear of some shops. As each day and night changes, your mental health starts to decline, you are feeling unwell with no food or relying on donations from passers by.

No one asks to be homeless, everyone deserves a place to call home. By raising awareness & fundraising for us, you will be helping to change lives.

Thank you
