Many of you have done incredible things: organised concerts, asked others to donate for your birthday or anniversary, organised your own Sleep Out, donated proceeds from a collection, ran, swam, cycled, climbed and more. Wow! You inspire us. With your help, we are getting people off the streets today and helping create better futures.  

We add new names regularly, but if your name doesn't appear, please get in touch! We'd love to hear from you.

  • Pupils in Year 6 at Christ Church Chelsea, for sleeping outside for a night in July annually to raise funds for Glass Door shelters. 

What you do is amazing, and whether it's through a cake sale or a triathlon, the money and goods you raised will make a difference in the lives of men and women who sorely need shelter, help and hope.

 

THANK YOU.
