The number of people who are homeless is on the rise, not just in terms of people sleeping on the streets, but the ‘hidden homeless’, staying in hostels, sofa surfing or in unsuitable, temporary accommodation.

The current estimate of homeless people in England is around 320,000, according to charity Shelter.

Trinity is working hard to support around 650 individuals a year through our direct access drop in day centre and fundraising events such as the Sleep Out are an important part of raising both funds and awareness for Trinity’s work and you can help too by joining in with our biggest fundraiser of the year.

Last year, you helped us raise an incredible £42,000 

to support our services.

Join us later in the year for the Big Sleep Out, an eye opening night spent sleeping in the grounds of the Winchester Cathedral.

Enjoy an evening of acoustic entertainment, build yourself a cardboard shelter to sleep in, and raise money and awareness to reduce homelessness. And then from 10pm there will be nothing.

No lights, music, and nowhere to go. Will you be able to get some sleep?

Every penny that you raise in sponsorship will go back into Trinity’s services, offering long-term, positive change.

What Happens?

The Big Sleep Out is not intended to be an experience of rough sleeping, or being homeless. For Trinity, this is an interesting way to raise money, and raise awareness of our work. 

Recommended age 7+. All under 18’s must be accompanied by an adult.
