Manchester Sleepout - organise your own

We can’t meet at the Cathedral for our Sleepout this year. So instead, join us on Friday 6th November 2020 and organise your own Manchester Sleepout.

What is this?
This is a fundraising challenge that doesn't replicate what it's like to be homeless, but allows you to understand the challenges people face when they don't have their own home.
​
This challenge isn’t going to be easy, but we know that it will positively change your perception of homelessness forever. So get your friends and family involved to support your local homelessness charity.

What do I need to do?
  • Either on your own, with friends, family or your youth group, sleep out at home or in your own space.

​
You can choose to do this:

  • Outside ( in your own garden, balcony, club room or property - NOT in a  public space) 
  • Inside (removing home comforts, and all sleeping in the same room). 
​Either way, we will provide you with guidance to ensure you get the most from this eye opening experience.
​
On the night
  • You can join our online community as we will be streaming films and real life experiences from people the Booth Centre has supported. 
  • If you are taking part with children, we have discussion guides, games, arts activities and quizzes to keep you occupied. 
  • For those that wish to have a more immersive experience, prepare to be woken by text messages throughout the night, reflecting some of the experiences faced by people that are homeless.
  • In the morning, join us online again, as we rouse you with more positive stories on what the money you will be raising is going to support. 
Raising money 
  • Homelessness in Manchester has significantly increased post lockdown; meaning we need fundraising support more than ever. 
  • So we ask you to raise money for doing this challenge.  ​
  • We charge a small registration fee to help cover the costs of the event and creating the content.
