AC Sleep out 2025

This winter, I’m taking part in a sleep out at Wicksteed Park to raise money for Accommodation Concern, a vital charity that works tirelessly to combat homelessness and poverty. As someone who works for Accommodation Concern, I see firsthand the challenges faced by individuals who are homeless or at risk of losing their homes. We provide critical housing, benefit, and debt advice to vulnerable people, helping them navigate a system that can often feel impossible to manage. Unfortunately, many people don’t qualify for emergency housing and are forced to endure multiple nights sleeping outside. This sleep out is a small way to experience, if only briefly, what that might feel like.

Accommodation Concern goes beyond advice by offering supported accommodation—shared housing with the guidance of support workers. This service is a lifeline for many, enabling people to rebuild their lives, regain stability, and transition into long-term, settled housing. By fundraising through this event, I hope to ensure that we can continue providing these life-changing services, giving more people the opportunity to overcome crisis and start anew. Every contribution helps us make a difference. 

Thank you for your support.
