Unite for the night: Sleep Out to end homelessness Glass Door's annual Sleep Out will be taking place on Friday, 4 October 2024. Participants give up their bed for one night to give someone a chance to find a pathway out of homelessness. Find out more and sign up at www.glassdoor.org.uk/sleep-out     

This year, Glass Door Homeless Charity is encouraging people either to join them at Duke of York Square in Chelsea or to take part remotely. Take part as a church team or by yourself. Either way, you will be helping someone find a route off the streets. 

This winter Glass Door saw a massive and incredibly worrying rise in demand for emergency shelter and case work support as rough sleeping in London has increased 33% in a year. To make sure they can help everyone who needs them – whether they are already experiencing homelessness or at risk of losing their home, they need your help more than ever. Registration is FREE but participants are asked to fundraise for Glass Door Homeless Charity. All funds you raise go directly to the charity to help someone find safe shelter and support to get off the streets in London for good
