ASDA SPONSORED SLEEPOUT 2019

What we do

 Working with an army of volunteers, we provide safe accommodation and a substantial meal for up to 35 guests each night during the coldest months of the year (December-March).

Working in partnership with 7 churches in or near the city centre, we provide a welcoming venue, each opening their doors for one night each week.

As guests bed down for the night in new, warm sleeping bags and blankets, night staff are there to offer support and prayer throughout the night.

Before leaving at 8am the next morning, guests tuck into a healthy breakfast of cereals, toast and fresh fruit. Many are given ongoing support to address their needs.

We need £103,000 every year

£2 for a hot meal and breakfast

£24 for one person for a night, including 2 meals

£25 for a set of bedding

£70 for all the meals for a night

£853 for all the costs of one nights operation

£11,790 for a month’s overnight staff costs


Why be a Nightshelter Volunteer?

Because anyone can make the wrong choices in life and end up on the streets, my daughter nearly did.  It is great to be able to help others
