Our Charity Partners
The St Albans Sleepout is led by Herts Young Homeless in partnership with four other local charities. It is a true collaboration of local charities with each partner playing a role in shaping the night, supporting participants, and raising vital funds to tackle homelessness across Hertfordshire.
The aim of the St Albans Sleepout is to raise awareness of homelessness in Hertfordshire, to come together as a community for the community and raise important funds for five local charities.
Started by the Abbey and Diocese in the 1990s, the sleepout has raised hundreds of thousands for Hertfordshire's homeless charities, and this year is no exception.
The event is now managed, organised and led by Herts Young Homeless with four other local charities — Centre 33, Emmaus, Open Door and The Living Room — benefiting from the sponsorship you raise.
