The Little Sleep Out!
/Following our successful 'Little Sleep Out' event last year, which raised over £4,500 for Crisis, we are sleeping out again this year in the school playground on Friday 6th December from 4.00pm-7.00pm to
support Crisis in their efforts to end homelessness.
A recent research conducted by Heriot-Watt University shows that in 2016 around 160,000 households experienced the most acute forms of homelessness. If we fail to address homelessness, this figure will reach 392,000 by 2041.
Christmas can be a particularly difficult time for a homeless person. Crisis at Christmas is a unique volunteer effort that provides immediate help for homeless people during this time by providing food, clothing, health services and a chance to relax.
If 40,000 people were prevented from becoming homeless for one year in England it would save the public purse £370 million. In 2012 the cost of homelessness in England was reported as being up to £1 billion
(gross) a year.
Please support Crisis and donate as much as possible to give homeless people a little of what we sometimes take for granted.
