Join us for a night under the stars: Sleepout to help out… again!

Dare to Care: One Night Under the Stars Could Change Lives – Join the Sleepout Fundraiser at Wicksteed Park!

This February, make a real difference by joining Accommodation Concern's 2nd annual Sleepout Fundraiser at Wicksteed Park in Kettering. On the evening of February 21st, 2025, we invite you to trade your warm bed for a night on the ground to support those facing homelessness in Northamptonshire.

The event kicks off at 8 pm with what was last year's highlight - a high-quality quiz that had everyone laughing, learning, and saying 'hmm'. Sleepout participants join for free, while others can participate for £10 per person or £70 for a team of 8. This isn't just any quiz; it's packed with intriguing facts that sparked conversation and curiosity. At 11 pm, we'll settle down for the night under the stars, experiencing a fraction of what those without homes endure.

This year, we're challenging everyone to bring their A-game in fundraising, with a playful twist: which community group or business can raise the most funds? Let's spark a friendly competition and see if we can crown the "Champions of Charity" right here in Northamptonshire.

Reflecting on our success from January 2024, the quiz and sleepout were not only a hit but also a heart-warming display of community spirit. Despite the cold wind, the event was a joyful gathering, with participants, including our previous Mayor of Kettering and our dedicated debt, welfare benefits, and housing advisers, enjoying a beautiful sunrise over Wicksteed Park, the same venue hosting us once again.

8pm Quiz, 11pm Sleepout, in partnership with Wicksteed Park

Your participation last year helped us achieve remarkable outcomes, from providing top-notch housing advice to securing supported accommodation for those most in need. With Accommodation Concern, your fundraising yields significant returns, transforming lives through our expert interventions that far exceed what any individual could achieve alone.

For those ready to take up this challenge, expect to see the night sky, feel the chill of the wind, and ensure you bring a sleeping bag. While we hope for clear skies, come prepared for rain. Don't worry, though; we'll have tea and coffee on standby to keep spirits high.
