Sleep Out

For over 20 years we've been sleeping out - whether sleeping in football stadiums or school playgrounds - raising money to end youth homelessness and changing attitudes one night at a time.

Sleep Out is an overnight fundraising challenge. Choose to sign up to a Centrepoint organised event or organise your own Sleep Out with your community group, colleagues or school. 

Taking part in Sleep Out is more than a challenge—it’s a statement of solidarity with the thousands of young people who face homelessness every day. 

It won’t be your most comfortable night’s sleep, but will be your most meaningful.

“I thought I understood about homelessness until I did the Sleep Out. Hearing first hand from the Centrepoint team and young people was eye opening and I feel much better informed. So pleased I had this opportunity.”
