Sleep in
This is perfect for families, shared houses – or anyone that wants a night in their garden.
Not everyone has a stable place to live, and so we invite you to Sleep
In at home to recognise this, and to think about young people without a suitable place to live.
Grab your camping gear, make a shelter or just sleep under the stars in your back garden, conservatory or even in your living room!
Use this opportunity to raise awareness and raise funds for young vulnerable people.
We’ll share with you an educational learning pack for kids – thanks to our partners St Basils for this. This includes educational games, learning about homelessness, and even a shelter building challenge!
The education resource has been designed for schools and links to the national curriculum so this is a great way to engage children in education who are not at school due to Covid.
This can be done at any time that suits you.
