Summary
Join the YMCA Norfolk Sleep Easy team to raise awareness of youth homelessness while raising vital funds to tackle the root causes.
Detailed description
YMCA Norfolk is inviting individuals and groups to join us in Norwich at our Community Hub at 61a Aylsham Road, Norwich, NR3 2HF, where we'll be sleeping in the car park! Alternately, you may wish to host your own Sleep Easy event, sleeping outside to experience what it's like for so many homeless people who don't have access to a warm bed or roof over their head.
Every night YMCA Norfolk provides a safe home and support for 240 vulnerable people in Norfolk. Much needed money raised from Sleep Easy will contribute towards providing them with emergency accommodation, counselling, education, employment support and much, much more.
Be the part of the change and join us at Sleep Easy. It is guaranteed to be a fun yet powerful experience as we work together to end homelessness in Norfolk.
