Linsey's York Charity Sleepout 2025

I am taking part in the York Charity Sleepout on the 1st May (Tomorrow, yikes!) at the York LNER Community stadium. This event is raising money for SASH, York City Football Club Foundation, Restore York, and Kitchen for Everyone York, who support homeless individuals, rough sleepers, and disadvantaged families. The event is not replicating homelessness but it will be to experience just a fraction of what it’s like to sleep rough.

Last year, over 118,000 young people were, or faced homelessness in the UK. That's one young person becoming homeless every 4 minutes. Many as young as 16 years of age.
EVERYONE deserves to have somewhere safe to stay.

That's why I've decided to take part in the York Charity Sleepout and sleep under the stars for a night with nothing but a makeshift shelter of cardboard and a sleeping bag!

Everyone who knows me, will be well aware of how much I like my comforts, including my warm cosy bed, soft pillows and luxurious duvet. So this will definitely be outside of my comfort zone!

If you would like to sponsor me, I'd be extremely grateful.

If you are a UK taxpayer, you may be eligible for Gift Aid. This means that, at no extra cost to you, you could increase your donation by 25% just by ticking the Gift Aid box when you sponsor me, thank you!
