Trinity is excited to announce the return of their annual Big Sleep Out at Winchester Rugby Club.

Join us on Friday 19th June 2026 from 6pm for an eye-opening night spent sleeping in cardboard shelters to raise vital funds and awareness for our work supporting people experiencing homelessness and domestic abuse in Winchester.

The evening begins with local music and entertainment, delicious food, and creative activities, bringing our community together in a spirit of solidarity and support. From 10pm, participants will bed down for the night in homemade cardboard shelters in support of Trinity’s vital services.

Now in its 13th year, the Big Sleep Out plays a crucial role in sustaining our work. Every penny raised goes directly towards creating long-term, positive change for people in our community.

As Trinity marks 40 years of supporting Winchester, this year’s Big Sleep Out is a powerful opportunity to stand with us and make a lasting difference.

We ask that participants raise a minimum of £100 (£50 for under 18s). Anyone who raises £150 or more will get a free Big Sleep Out t-shirt!

The Big Sleep Out is not an experience of homelessness. We cannot replicate the harsh realities of sleeping rough night after night. Participants will return to the comfort of their homes the following morning, something that is not an option for thousands of people.

This event is a meaningful and challenging way to raise vital funds and awareness.
