Get Involved In The Most Active Way

Spend a night under the Stockport sky to raise money and awareness for people without homes.

It’s a unique event that allows you to get involved in the most active way.

Spending just one night outside can’t replicate being homeless, but it can put into perspective how difficult life without a home can be.

Anybody aged 14+ is welcome to register for this event. For those under 18 you must be accompanied by an adult. One adult can be responsible for a maximum of two children.

Please ensure that you register with us so we can plan for numbers and logistics.

Sleepout logistics

As you can imagine, the Autumnal Stockport air can carry quite a chill, so please bring plenty of layers of clothing with you as we want you to be as prepared as possible!

We will provide some light refreshments and access to a toilet throughout the night. Apart from these amenities it will be just us all together, all night.

Once you register you will receive an email with more instructions on what you can expect and the types of items to bring. In the meantime, you may want to take a look through our Sleepout Essentials.

Don’t forget to setup your own JustGiving page!
