Homelessness, a stark reality in the modern world, forces countless individuals to endure hardship and despair. From the streets of bustling cities to the quiet corners of rural areas, homelessness affects people from all walks of life. Recognizing the importance of addressing this issue is paramount, as it calls for compassion, affordable housing initiatives, and social support systems to provide a glimmer of hope to those experiencing homelessness and to work toward a world where no one has to sleep on the streets.
In the struggle against homelessness, organizations like GrowTH have risen as beacons of hope. With unwavering dedication, they tirelessly provide emergency shelter, food, and support to those experiencing homelessness, working tirelessly to help individuals regain their footing and transition to more stable lives.
As we grapple with the ongoing crisis of homelessness, it’s essential to highlight an upcoming event that bridges empathy with action. GrowTH is thrilled to announce their “2023 Sleep Out,” a meaningful experience set to take place on December 1st. This event promises participants a night of solidarity and awareness, as they sleep outdoors to raise funds and support for GrowTH’s critical work in providing shelter and assistance to those in need throughout the community.
JOIN US AT THE 2023 SLEEP OUT!
On Friday 1st December 2023, we will be sleeping outside once again on the West India Quay, by Canary Wharf.
Last year, over £9,000 was raised to support the work of GrowTH with the homeless in Tower Hamlets. We would love to smash this target! Will you join us?
Below is a reflection from a participant of 2022, to give you an idea of what to expect.
Date: Friday 1st December 2023
Time: 8pm Friday – 9am Saturday
Location: St Peter’s Barge, West India Quay, Off Hertsmere Rd, London E14 4AL
