Charity sleepout events announced to combat homelessness

Two upcoming sleepout events aim to raise funds and awareness for individuals experiencing homelessness and housing insecurity.

In Guernsey, the third annual Big Skipton Sleepout is scheduled for 2027. Organized by Skipton International, the event will benefit two charities: Action for Children, which supports individuals under the age of 25, and Caritas Guernsey, which assists adults aged 25 to 55. The initiative seeks to provide practical support and long-term housing solutions for those in need.

In the United Kingdom, the CEO Sleepout is set to take place at the Silverstone Museum on November 26, 2026. This event encourages business leaders to spend a night sleeping outdoors to raise money and awareness for local people facing hardship and homelessness.
