Did you know that in the UK 894,000 children don’t have a bed of their own. Will you stand with us by giving up your bed for one night and sleeping in the concourse of the stadium to support some of the most vulnerable people in Wigan.

Story

Families in Wigan & Leigh can face various types of poverty, including fuel, food, hygiene, and period poverty but did you know that in the UK 894,000* children don’t have a bed of their own. Bed poverty is a critical part of child poverty, and it manifests in different ways for different families. Some children share beds with their parents due to the lack of separate sleeping spaces, others sleep on the floor, and some can't replace broken beds or buy new bedding.

Funds raised from the Stadium Sleepout will support projects like our furniture re-use schemes and multibank that sources and redistributes essential household items to people in need via our network of referral partners such as social workers and schools.
