Have you experienced what it’s like to sleep on the streets? Many young people in Derby and Derbyshire in the UK suffer through this and that’s why YMCA Derbyshire is once again hosting Sleep Easy to raise money to help them.
This unique fundraising event challenges participants to spend a night on the streets where they’ll be exposed to different elements, from the bad weather to the discomfort of not sleeping on a comfy bed.
By joining this event, you can help raise funds to provide a safe and warm place for these young people. The proceeds will also be used to support YMCA Derbyshire’s employment programs, psychotherapy sessions, and other services.
What is Sleep Easy?
What: spend a night challenging yourself to sleep rough, raising money to help change the lives of local people in Derby and Derbyshire. The night involves activities that best replicate what it’s actually like to sleep on the streets.
Why: By spending a night in an unusual place or sleeping outside, you will experience what it’s like to get minimal sleep as you feel vulnerable to the elements. Many of our young people have unfortunately had to go through this and we want to raise as many funds as possible to continue providing them with a safe, warm place to live alongside 24/7 support.
