Join us at the 10th Big Bath Sleep Out! Friday 8th March 2019

Could you ‘Sleep Out’ for just ONE night if it meant you could help others who could be forced to sleep out every night? Homeless charity Julian House is asking you; your friends; your organisation, to ditch the comfort of your bed and join hundreds for just ONE night.

The Big Bath Sleep-Out takes place on Friday 8th March in Alice Park, Bath and members of the public are being encouraged to join in and raise sponsorship which will help Julian House to run many projects supporting homeless and excluded men and women.

No one is under any illusion that spending one night under the stars could possibly replicate what it is like to be homeless and on the streets. After the Big Bath Sleep-Out you can go home, have a warm bath, have a nice breakfast and chat to family or friends about your experience, perhaps even go back to bed to catch up on the sleep you lost the night before. By being sponsored to sleep out for just one night you will be helping others who don’t have the luxury of their own home to return to.

You can enter as an individual, or with friends and family, or a team from work, school or other organisation. (Under 16′s must be accompanied by an adult at all times).

We do not charge an entry fee but hope that you will try and raise at least £100 so that we can continue to provide vital support to homeless and marginalised men and women in and around Bath. You will be amazed at how many people will be willing to sponsor you - last year 240 people who took part and raised an amazing £50,000!
