Question 1

Is there a minimum age for children to take part?

Accepted Answer

All under 16s must be accompanied by an adult. There is no minimum age requirement, however the Sleep-Out can be a challenge for children, so we suggest that only children over the age of 9 take part.

Question 2

Can I bring my dog?

Accepted Answer

While we would love for you to be able to bring along your furry friends, unfortunately we cannot accommodate dogs in the football ground.

Question 3

Can I sign up on the night?

Accepted Answer

We do not accept sign ups on the evening of the event, registration closes 12pm on Friday  the17th of March.

Question 4

What will I need on the night?

Accepted Answer

⭐ A sleeping bag.

⭐ Cardboard and/or plastic sheeting to be placed between you and the ground.

⭐ Plenty of warm clothes, hats, gloves, and waterproofs.

⭐ Snacks and drinks.

⭐ A torch (one with a red filter is best, you can buy these or make your own with some red film).

Question 5

I can't get to St James Park, can I take part at home / somewhere else?

Accepted Answer

Yes! We appreciate that not everyone is able to join us, as much as we'd like you to. You are welcome to take part in a place that suits you, as long as you have any necessary permissions.

If you do choose to take part somewhere else, please email annabelle.lowes@julianhouse.org.uk

Question 6

What happens if the weather is bad?

Accepted Answer

The Sleep-Out is a challenge that will give you a very small insight into what it might be like to sleep rough every night, including cold temperatures and wet weather. We will have some emergency shelter that can be used if needed.

Question 7

Will I receive any resources for the night, and to help me fundraise?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. We will send you regular emails between now and the event to help organise your fundraising and how to sleep out on the night. If you’d like some fundraising tips now, head to our  Fundraising Tips & Ideas page on our website!
