Worthing Churches Homeless Project Annual Sleepout
Saturday 30th January in Worthing
Spend one night outside to help bring someone else in the warm
Or
Saturday 27th February in Littlehampton
Our second Sleepout event in Littlehampton – now two chances to take part!
Sure, it’s uncomfortable and you might get cold and wet – but what difference could you make just by taking part for one night? It’s not just the fundraising, although that is a huge, huge help, but the people you talk to about your experience afterwards! It’s the stereotypes you can help us to challenge. It’s the talking to your children, your friends, your family about the realities of homelessness and gaining a greater understanding of what it might be like. If you have done it before, we’d love to see you again if you haven’t come along before – what’s stopping you?

Because that is the reality – to keep our vital services running costs £1.9million a year. In the last year our fantastic project workers have supported over 1400 people with anything from advice about homelessness, keeping tenancies or receiving support through the Local Assistance Network to providing cooked breakfast, key-working and counselling support and securing long term accommodation. We can only continue to do this with your help.
What’s 1 night in 365?
It’s been a long journey with a lot of ups and downs but I’m definitely getting there and I want to say a huge thank you to everyone at WCHP from the staff at St Clare’s and the Recovery Project to everyone at the Short Term Assessment Hostel and the Stepping Stones Project for all their support. Also a big thank you to Health Central for helping me get through it all. If it wasn’t for all those different people I don’t think I would have made it. Every single person helped me. My keyworker, Pete, was fantastic and got me through it big time. My keyworker, Sue, at CRI was great. People just put up with my moods and just listened to me. There are so many people that need thanking but there’s not enough paper in the world for me to do that. Thanks again to you all from the bottom of my heart. – Jason, a client now living in his own accommodation.
Can you help us this year? Together we can make a difference
