Who would have though a night sleeping in the wind and the rain would help to raise an incredible £29,000 for Nightsafe!
We would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who joined us for our sleep out at St Silas Church in Blackburn, and to everyone who sponsored them.
This money will help us to continue to offer services to the homeless youth of Blackburn with Darwen and surrounding areas.
We’d like to thank the 9-strong team from TK Maxx who raised £2,220.81. The team dressed in fancy dress and braved the cold, all to raise money and awareness for a great cause.
Amanda Riding raised £200 for Nightsafe via JustGiving by taking part in the Sleep Out – sleeping in the cold so others don’t have to.
Bebe, a Year 6 pupil at Stonyhurst College, organised a Sleep Out in the Sports Hall to raise money and awareness for Nightsafe.
This amazing event ended up raising £9,300, which was 371% of the original £2,500 target. Thank you so much to Bebe and Stonyhurst for organising and completing such an amazing and selfless event.
Without the help of our supporters, we wouldn’t be able to do what we do.
Thank you to all our #NightsafeHeroes.
