Sleep Out 2026: Wake up on World Homeless Day

Join us for Sleep Out 2026 on Friday 9th October at Duke of York Square, Chelsea! 

This World Homeless Day, you can make a difference in the lives of people experiencing homelessness in London by supporting Glass Door Homeless Charity. 

Homelessness in London is rising – but we continue to work on the frontline, offering life-saving shelter, advice and advocacy for anyone who comes to us for support.  

There are people on the streets, day in, day out. 24/7, 365. This is just a way of helping out, really.

At Sleep Out, individuals, local businesses, churches, and community groups all come together to experience one night sleeping outdoors.  

While Sleep Out doesn’t aim to replicate homelessness, it offers a chance to reflect on the experience, and to support people through raising funds and awareness. 

You’ll wake up on World Homeless Day knowing you’ve made a real difference to the lives of our guests. 

Watch our video below to learn more about the event and why our supporters take part. 

Last year, we raised an amazing £90,000, which supported us in finding safe and stable housing for 475 guests since June. 

I think it’s pivotal for us to contribute in any way possible to hopefully create a better world, and a better city for all of its inhabitants.
