The Rec Sleep Out

The Rec Sleep out is back!

Following the success of the inaugural Sleep Out at the home of Bath Rugby last year, Bath Rugby Foundation will be spending another night out in the open later this year as we seek to tackle the issue of youth homelessness.

The Rec Sleep Out takes place on Wednesday, November 6.

Bath Rugby Foundation works with more than 3,000 children and young people annually and staff are increasingly aware that more and more of the participants on the charity’s programmes do not have the security of a permanent home. Many young people find themselves sofa-surfing or moving between various types of temporary accommodation. Sadly, there are often times that young people arrive at the charity hungry.

While the night will be uncomfortable, it will not be impossible - we will provide a warm meal to fight off the November cold. Last year the meal was served up by some special guests - members of the Bath Rugby squad. 

Here's what happened last year:

Bath Rugby Foundation is asking for an entry fee of £20 per person to help cover the costs of putting on this event.

Bath Rugby Foundation is asking businesses to enter teams of four and ask that teams raise a minimum of £700, either by fundraising within your business or by direct donation, to take part.

Individuals will be asked to raise or pledge a minimum of £150. Students are asked to raise £50.

By taking part you will be raising awareness, raising funds and helping make a real difference to the lives of vulnerable young people living in and around Bath.
