Sleep out on the Big Bank
Registration is now open to participate in Exeter City Community Trust’s Big Sleep Out on Friday, 12th March 2027.
You’ll make St James Park your home for the night, sleeping out in the cold while raising vital funds for Exeter City Community Trust’s Supported Housing Service, and awareness to the struggles of those facing homelessness and rough sleeping regularly.
Our service provides safe, temporary accommodation and tailored support for individuals experiencing homelessness. The service focuses on helping residents develop life skills and build confidence to transition into independent living. By offering a compassionate, person-centred approach, we aim to empower individuals to overcome barriers and achieve long-term stability and self-sufficiency.
It costs just £15 to secure your place, and we’re challenging participants to raise £100 or more to make a meaningful impact on our Supported Housing Service’s work in Exeter.
Date: Friday 12th March – Saturday 13th March
Location: St James Park, Stadium Way, EX4 6PX
Time: 20:00 – 08:00
