Sign Up For One Big Sleep Out
Our award winning One BIG Sleepout is back!
Join us on Friday 10th October at the iconic Stormont Estate in Belfast.
1 in 32 people are currently officially registered as homeless in Northern Ireland including over 5,000 children. Over 80,000 people are waiting for their own place to call home. At Simon Community, we believe another reality is possible. It doesn’t have to be this way and homelessness is not inevitable.
One BIG Sleepout is not just an event, it’s a movement. For one night, we invite you to step out of your comfort zone, and sleep under the stars to raise awareness and vital funds to combat homelessness across Northern Ireland. Sleeping out for one night will not replicate the realities of experiencing homelessness but it will send a powerful message.
What to expect:
Community and Connection: Join like-minded individuals who are committed to making a difference. Share stories, make new friends, and unite for a common cause.
Safe and Secure Environment: Our team will ensure a safe experience for all participants with designated sleeping areas, security, and medical support on site.
By the Fireside:
Enjoy performances, stories, and interactive activities which highlight the realities of homelessness and inspire hope.
