Sleep Out for Sanctuary Trust information - 2025
Join Sanctuary Trust for a fundraising night to remember.
We’re asking you to give up your bed and sleep outdoors for just one night to raise awareness and vital funds to help tackle homelessness in Jersey. Proudly supported by Skipton, this year’s event takes place on Friday 14th November at Pier Road Car Park (Floors 11 and 12), St Helier, from 8pm to 6am. There will be acoustic music, hot soup and bread, tea and coffee, and a light breakfast snack in the morning.
Sign up solo or rally a team of colleagues, family or friends. Everyone taking part is asked to fundraise through JustGiving or our sponsorship form – full details are below.
The Sleep Out doesn’t try to replicate homelessness, but it demonstrates your support and brings together our community for a night of solidarity. It won’t be the most comfortable night, but it will be one of the most meaningful.
Whether you’re taking part, donating, or cheering others on - thank you. All funds raised will go directly towards our work supporting individuals experiencing homelessness in our island community.
