Raise funds to support young people facing homelessness, in your community.
What is Sleep Easy?
Sleep Easy is a fundraising event where we ask you to give up your bed for one night, in support of young people facing the terrifying experience of homelessness - every day of the year.
Whether you join one of our organised events on 10th March, or take part in your own time, we’ll be there to support you every step of the way. The funds you raise will help us tackle the root causes of homelessness and give young people in your community the chance of a better future.
How do I get involved?
We’re hosting two in-person Sleep Easy events. Your registration fee will provide you with hot food and drinks, a cardboard box, and make a contribution towards our projects. Or take part in your own time during the month of March (simply sleep anywhere but your own bed). There’s no minimum amount to raise but every pound you do could turn a person's life around.

Why take part?
Every night YMCA DownsLink Group provides accommodation for over 750 young people (aged 16-25) who are homeless or at risk of homelessness.
