How to go the extra mile!
This is your chance to be creative or do something extra. The charity host ‘Sleep Outs’ annually which are safely held in a warehouse. It is not meant to replicate actual homelessness but it gives a small insight into the challenges faced by many vulnerable young people. Supporters get sponsored to embrace the cold night by swapping warm beds for a sleeping bag and a hard floor.
You can generally fundraise for the charity by organising a bucket collection, selling unwanted clothes or giving up coffee!
