LandAid SleepOut 2025

The LandAid SleepOut is your opportunity to join hundreds of other property and wider built environment professionals, and brave one night outside, all in aid of ending youth homelessness.

The LandAid SleepOut unites the industry behind our mission to end youth homelessness.

The SleepOut sees the property and wider built environment from across the UK brave one night outside, coming together to face a testing challenge and raise funds for 16-25 year olds who so desperately need our support. 

To date, the SleepOut has raised over £3 million, funding vital projects helping hundreds of young people to find safe, stable accommodation and a place to call home. But sadly, every year the crisis is worsening. The number of young people experiencing homelessness is rising and the importance of the LandAid SleepOut is greater than ever!

Our History

In 2018 LandAid held its inaugural SleepOut, taking place in Old Spitalfields Market in London. An unprecedented success, we saw its potential, and in 2020, we held a SleepOut Series with three events in three cities across three consecutive weeks (no mean feat!).

In 2021, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we had to change our plans, and held a virtual SleepOut, inviting people to sleep out at home. 600 people accepted the challenge and raised over £440,000.


In 2022, we returned with an ambitious plan – a hybrid event, incorporating six nationwide venues alongside a SleepOut at Home option, all taking place on the same night. 800 property professionals participated in London, Bristol, Birmingham, Cambridge, Leeds, and Manchester, with almost 100 people taking part virtually from their own homes. At final count, the event raised almost £590,000 (£90,000 above target!) and gained extensive property media coverage.

In 2023, we retained the hybrid model and welcomed a team in Glasgow to our first SleepOut in Scotland. Over 1300 property professionals participated from 185 companies, raising an incredible £677,000, smashing our £600,000 target.

In 2024, we followed the same model as the year prior, with a focus on enhancing the experience for participants across the UK, resulting in our biggest event to date, raising over £760,000 for good causes supporting our mission.

This year, for 2025 we're back with our biggest event to date, and we need your help to reach our ambitious target of £1 million. With the introduction of an eighth physical location, the SleepOut is quickly becoming one of the largest and most anticipated national fixtures in the property calendar, and we can't wait to see you there!

The event has seen continual growth year on year, and we are incredibly grateful for the extensive support from the industry, going above and beyond for the cause. They have demonstrated the importance of creating social value through the industry across the UK. 

Hear from young people

At LandAid, we support a diverse group of young people, each with their own unique story. Below, you can hear directly from a few of them as they share their experiences.

Edi's Story

Before the lockdown, Edi had nowhere safe to call home and was sofa surfing, and ended up sleeping in a friend's car...

Harry's Story

After the death of his only supportive relative, Harry fell behind with his bills, accruing significant rent arrears...

Zara's Story

Zara became homeless when she was just 16, when she was preparing to take her GCSEs, fleeing her home with no belongings...
