About

By spending the night in Old Spitalfields Market you will for one night experience the discomfort of trying to sleep on boxes on a hard cold floor amongst the bright lights of the city night and the noise of street cleaners, public transport and late night revellers.

The next day at work - most people that participate go to work the next day - when you are looking forward to getting home to a hot bath, a satisfying meal and comfy couch, the Sleep Out will become ever more meaningful.  You will begin to understand some of the practical realities of being homeless in London.  You may even wonder how you would have coped aged 16.

Make a stand against youth homelessness today. Commit to joining us on Thursday 11th of November and help us to raise £250,000 to continue providing services for homeless young people in 2011.
