A night out under the stars on 15th Feb 2025.
LCM’s Big Winter Sleepout is not just any other sponsored sleepout; it is an event that opens your eyes to the plight of many in London – and reveals God’s goodness and plan for us all.
Last year, more than 10,000 slept homeless in London. That’s an incredible number of people without a roof over their heads. With the cost of living crisis, hundreds more will become homeless this winter – this is tragic!
This means someone will be sleeping on the streets for the first time every day. Can you help by raising vital funds to help rough sleepers in London?
The funds you raise will help provide guests at our Webber Street day centre in Waterloo with warm breakfasts, clean clothes, help with finding accommodation and a chance to hear the good news of Jesus, shared with them lovingly and sensitively.
We understand that creating a fundraising page or fundraising itself can feel a little scary, but you have our support! Anything you raise will have an impact.
However, we encourage each participant to raise at least £200. This is enough to help someone who is homeless for 10 days by providing food, friendship and the gospel.
Come along to Webber Street and experience what it’s like to spend a night on the streets. Bring your mat and sleeping bag and join others as we sleep outside in the park next to our day centre. Get your friends, family, church or youth club involved and make an even bigger impact.
