St Albans Sleepout – 6th December 9pm -7am
Lesley and some of our young people are joining the St Albans sleepout again this year.
If you have not sponsored Lesley and would like to, it is not too late please speak to her or one of the church stewards.
If you want to know more about the sleepout and why it takes place each year please continue reading.
Why sleepout?
So a homeless person doesn’t have to!
The aim of the St Albans Sleepout is to raise awareness of homelessness in Hertfordshire.Five local charities, Centre 33, Emmaus, Herts Young Homeless (hyh), Open Door and The Living Room will benefit from the sponsorship you raise.
Our sleepout, hosted by Oaklands College, is one of the events replacing the St Albans Abbey Sponsored Sleepout which is not running this year because of building work.
Started by the Abbey and the Diocese in the 1990s, the sleepout has raised hundreds of thousands for the homeless charities taking part.
We’re confident, that with your help, we can make the St Albans Sleepout on Dec 6th a huge success and make a difference to vulnerable people across Hertfordshire this winter.
So will you brave a night in the cold?….
