Pro Vision Big Sleep Out Headline Sponsor

Long-standing supporters Pro Vision will serve as the main sponsor for Trinity’s 13th Annual Big Sleep Out 2026.

The highly anticipated fundraising event will take place on Friday 19 June 2026, inviting participants to spend an eye-opening night under the stars at Winchester Rugby Club. The event aims to raise vital funds and awareness for homelessness, while offering a meaningful and thought-provoking experience for all involved.

Katherine Miles, Director of Pro Vision, said:
“It is our pleasure and privilege to continue to support Trinity Winchester at this year’s Big Sleep Out. Our team at Pro Vision have been fundraising and supporting Trinity Winchester for several years and seen first-hand the great work they do. Sponsoring the Big Sleep Out helps us to give back and support the community and we are honoured to play a part in what we know will be a successful event.”

Hosted by Rick Adams, the evening will feature live local music, entertainment, and a range of food options, including Five Borough Pizza and Original Fry Up Material. Participants will also be invited to take part in a creative shelter-building competition, with prizes awarded for the most innovative designs.

This year’s event will also showcase a special art installation by the Trinity Art Group (TAG), titled “40 Stories: A Living Celebration of 40 Years”, marking Trinity’s 40th anniversary of serving the community.

A highlight of the evening will be the much-loved “celebrity bedtime story,” followed by breakfast the next morning, kindly provided by the Rapid Relief Team.

Hannah Scott, Chief Executive of Trinity Winchester, commented:
“This sponsorship is integral to our fundraising and ensures the continued success of our Big Sleep Out event. It also highlights the strong relationship we have developed with Pro Vision over the years. We hope many people will join us as we mark 40 years serving the community.”

All funds raised through individual sponsorship will directly support Trinity Winchester’s vital services, helping people experiencing homelessness to rebuild their lives, move into independent accommodation, and access employment opportunities.

BIG SLEEP OUT returns

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.
