Sponsored Sleep Out
9 October 2026. A night of connection and community raising funds to create routes out of homelessness
Friday 9th October
Hackney Night Shelter's annual Sleep Out fundraiser is back for a fourth year and we need you to make it the best one yet!
At Hackney Night Shelter we provide emergency bed spaces and support for people experiencing homelessness into settled accommodation. Each year we support over 200 people facing homelessness, with almost all of our guests moving on positively to settled accommodation. With your help, we can come together as a community to raise funds to continue our vital work all year round.
Why get involved?
✅ Raise crucial funds – Your efforts will help provide emergency accommodation and support into settled accommodation for over 200 people this year.
✅ Build community – Team up with friends, family, colleagues, neighbours.
✅ Amplify awareness – Shine a light on homelessness in London and the life-changing work your support makes possible.
The Sleep Out is not intended to replicate the dangers and harsh conditions experienced by people sleeping rough.
We will gather together in the evening for soup, a little live music and to hear from former shelter guests. In the morning we'll head indoors for a cooked breakfast. It will be very safe and suitable for all ages.
Everyone who sleeps out will get a Hackney Night Shelter hooded top - yours to keep. We do ask that each person aims to raise at least £250 - we can help with fundraising ideas. To help with covering the cost of running the event, there is a £20 registration fee payable when you book your place.
