🌟 How the 2024 Big Sleep Out Fund is Transforming Lives 🌟 Thanks to 109 incredible participants raising £68,000 last year, we’ve been able to make real, immediate change. Swipe below to read Martin’s story… Martin had been rough sleeping in Cheltenham since 2020, unable to engage with services due to untreated mental health challenges. But thanks to the first-ever Chelpod, funded by the Big Sleep Out 2024, Martin now has a safe, insulated place to stay. For the first time in years, he’s considering a future beyond rough sleeping. With safety, warmth, and stability, Martin now feels secure enough to take steps toward permanent housing - a life-changing breakthrough. This is what your fundraising makes possible. Join us for the next Big Sleep Out and help more people like Martin find their way home.

🔥 The BIGGER Sleep Out is here! 🔥 You don’t have to be with us to stand with us. Through the Bigger Sleep Out, anybody unable to participate on the 27th March at Brickhampton Golf Course (with our 75+ participants) can still take part. Gather your group - whether it’s your family, classmates, Scout/Guide troop, trivia team, or even your competitive duck herding club - and sleep out to help us eliminate homelessness in Gloucestershire. Sleep in a school hall, camp out, or roll out a sleeping bag in your own back garden. However you do it, whenever you do it, you’re making a difference. 💛 Sign up, start fundraising, and watch your group climb the fundraising leader board: https://lnkd.in/eywYsB6V #BiggerSleepOut #HomelessnessUK #UKSchools #YouthEngagement #StudentLife #CommunitySupport#Fundraising #NonProfitUK #HomelessnessAwareness #HousingForAll #ScoutsUK #GuidesUK #ScoutingAdventures #GirlGuiding #ScoutMeIn #YouthLeadership #YouthVolunteers #CampingUK #YoungChangemakers

"Without the Big Sleep Out, I wouldn't be here right now...you've saved my life". For Joe, the choice to prioritise his recovery from substance misuse left him isolated, alone, and sleeping in his car. Through accessing the Crisis Fund created by last year's Big Sleep Out, and wider support from CCP, Joe is now happy, healthy and enjoying the security and small pleasures of having a roof over his head and a place to call home. Joe allowed us to record his journey as a means of inspiring more people to help others in his situation. We think his words speak for themselves. Here's 3 ways to join the movement to end homelessness: 1. Sleep Out with us on 27th March, as an individual or as a team 👇 https://lnkd.in/e332am62 2. Donate or sponsor one of our participants 👇 https://lnkd.in/e33GZfzp 3. Host your own sleep out at home with your family, school or social club 👇 https://lnkd.in/eywYsB6V

Big Sleep Out 2025 needs big-hearted individuals to step up and take on our challenge! ❤️ We’re seeking participants to experience one uncomfortable night with us under the stars and exposed to the elements, to raise awareness and much needed funds. How are the funds used? 🌟 Chelpods: More than shelter, pods provide a safe haven for individuals who are street sleeping, offering safety, comfort, dignity, and an opportunity to rebuild lives. 🌟 Crisis Funds: helping to provide a beacon of relief, prevent evictions, secure stable housing, and address immediate needs for individuals on the precipice of losing their home. 27 March 2025 | Brickhampton Golf Course Sign up here: https://lnkd.in/e332am62 Not up for the challenge this year?
