After the phenomenal success of the 2008 SleepOut (over £10,500 raised) Doorway staff, volunteers and members of the local community will once again be braving the great British winter weather and sleeping rough to increase awareness of homelessness in North Wiltshire and raise much needed funds for the Doorway drop-in centre.

The SleepOut will take place from 7pm on Saturday 31st January 2009 until 7am on Sunday 1st February at St Andrew’s Church, Market Place, Chippenham. The event has once again been organised to coincide with Homelessness Sunday on 1st February 2009, a national event to highlight homelessness.

The SleepOut Pack, including guidelines and general information regarding the event; registration and sponsorship forms, is now available to download from here or by post / collection from the Doorway office

Doorway would like to invite members of the public, businesses and other organisations to support this event by participating in the SleepOut, joining us for the first part of the night, or by publicising the event.

Please telephone the Doorway office for 01249 445385 or email for more details.
