Stand up against homelessness by challenging yourself, friends, family and colleagues to sleep out for one night, and help raise vital funds and awareness for those forced to do so in and around Exeter and Devon every night.

Julian House is a local, Southwest based charity that helps vulnerable, homeless, and at-risk people get back on their feet and rebuild their lives. Last year we provided life-changing support to over 2000 vulnerable individuals who were experiencing, or at risk of, homelessness across Devon and the South-West. Giving up just one night really could transform the lives of others.

The Sleep-Out isn’t about replicating rough sleeping. Of course, spending one cold night in Exeter Football Club couldn’t possibly come close to the stark reality of being homeless and sleeping on the streets. However, by taking on our eye-opening challenge, you will be raising funds to help change and save lives.

Swap beds for sleeping bags and brave the winter weather, so that people experiencing homeless can wake up to a brighter future. We will all be connected by one aim – to raise funds that will help provide safe shelter and support for vulnerable people who are forced to sleep outside every night.
