Fundraiser - Sleeping out for young people facing homelessness in Dartford

Story

This Easter members of our housing team are leaving the warmth and comfort of their homes and spending a night outside under the stars. With just some cardboard boxes, a sleeping bag and the support of each other, they are raising awareness and support for young people facing homelessness within Dartford and surrounding areas.

Your support will help provide essential bedding, toiletries and basic food to help provide young people with the very basics needed to move forward from adversity.
