Sleep Easy is a fundraising challenge event asking you to spend one night sleeping rough, all to raise vital funds to help tackle the root causes of youth homelessness.Our next event will be held in the car park of Merry Hill Shopping Centre on Friday 8 March starting at 7pm - 7am the following morning.
Participants receive two boxes to create your shelter and although this isn’t a true reflection of how homeless people live, we hope to give an insight into how it feels to not have a safe place tocall home. There is also an opportunity to hear from some of YMCA’s residents who have experienced homelessness and learn how our vital work has helped them to belong, contribute and thrive in their community.
We raised £20,412 last year and we’re hoping to smash our target of £24,000 for 2024. All funds raised go YMCA Moving Forward Fund, to support young people in their next step to independent living.
