We first took part in the Sleepout Challenge 7 years ago. As we prepare our homes for Christmas and think about the joy that Christmas brings, we remember those people and families where this is a more challenging time of the year. Some of the staff do this by sleeping out in school or outside in the school playground. It is never a pleasant experience and over the years we have had to endure rain, snow, cold, high winds, church bells through the night and more.

Thankfully it is only for one night, before we can return to the comfort of our homes and family.

We support the Church Urban Fund (CUF) who provide shelter, comfort and warmth to those who are homeless. Use this link to support the cause.
