Over the years we have taken part and raised money several times for StonePillow and is a important charity close to home. We live in a well developed country, homelessness should not be as big as it is; Everyone deserves a place to call home and a second chance, they just need someone to reach out and help.

StonePillow have an amazing team who help facilitate peoples return to the 'normal' we call every day and without them and the services, your donations fund, many more people could still be out on the streets.

This event will raise much needed funds for the services they provide across Chichester, Bognor & Arun. Every year they need to raise over £175k to operate 7 days a week, 365 days a year and help 40> people per day who require StonePillow services at Chichester hub alone. The hubs and hostels are safe places that provide hot meals, showers, clothing, advice, and support. The hubs role is pivotal to all our services, providing a first point of entry for those rough sleeping or under threat of homelessness.

The BIG Sleep Out does not aim to replicate homelessness but will give a small insight into the harsh realities of rough sleeping.
