SleepOuts across the country will take place on Thursday 7 March at 19:00 into the morning Friday 8 March.

Registration will be open between 19:00 - 20:00, please ensure you arrive in this window

Kit List for the SleepOut:

• Sleeping bag – a cold weather sleeping bag
• A pillow
• Thermals – layers, layers, layers!
• Your warmest coat
• Comfortable clothing –  you’ll be spending a lot of time of the floor. Think joggers rather than skinny jeans!
• Gloves, scarf, thick socks, hat 
• An eye mask
• Toothbrush and toothpaste
• A torch – it will be dark during the night
• A fully-charged phone
• A power bank – unfortunately, we won't have power sockets available on the night for phone charging, so please bring a battery pack if you have one
• Any medications that you take regularly or may need
  
• A reusable drinks cup - please help us do our bit for the planet

All of the venues are outside/open to the elements. As we know from the evidence to date, being outside is considerably safer than inside.

There will be plenty of space to social distance throughout the event.

SleepOut 2024 will incur a registration fee of £35 per adult. and £45 per family taking part in SleepOut at Home. ?

Charging a registration fee helps raise even more money and ensures 100% of your fundraising goes directly to supporting young people experiencing or at risk of homelessness.

No. However, it will give you a small insight into what the young people we support face each and every night.

Yes absolutely! You can join or create a team when registering. You’ll see that we have leaderboards for different locations, where you can compete as a team (and individually) against other organisations taking part in SleepOut.

Young people don’t have the choice to move inside if the weather is wet and as such we’d like you to remain outside wherever possible, providing you’re not putting your health at risk. Top tips for staying dry are using cardboard, sleeping close to buildings to get some shelter and waterproof sleeping bags.

All our venues are exposed to the elements, but overhead cover will be present in each location. 

Yes absolutely. Whether they’re your housemates or your family we’d love to have them involved. You can take part virtually via SleepOut At Home, or feel free to bring them along to the event if they're aged 18 or over. Just make sure they're all registered in advance! 

As much as we love four legged friends, this event is for humans only (sorry!) 

(Assistance and guide dogs are of course allowed, please let us know ahead of the event at sleepout@landaid.org so we can make any necessary adjustments)

The minimum fundraising target is £206 per person. This could help fund a safe place for a young person for six weeks. Find out more about the cost of funding a safe place to sleep here.
