Story

A sleepout is a sleep powerful enough to change the course of someone's life.

By supporting this fundraising challenge you’ll be making a difference in your community. Your donation could support our community, hubs, which offer vital supplies for someone sleeping rough: a sleeping bag, hot food, toiletries.

Although a SleepOut cannot replicate what people sleeping rough face every day, by holding our own sponsored SleepOut Roffey Scouts will help raise awareness of homelessness, gain a small insight into the harsh realities of rough sleeping, and give hope to hundreds of people facing homelessness across West Sussex right now.

Did you know that for every person you see rough sleeping, there are at least another 20 hidden homeless? And those numbers are on the rise.

- £30 could provide ten people sleeping rough with a hot meal at one of our community hubs, likely their only meal of the day.
