STAY:UP – 8th October 2020

On 8th October, we’re challenging you to STAY:UP all night to help us to end youth homelessness in Blackpool.

Whether you STAY:UP solo or as part of a team, the challenge is simple: Tackle your tiredness, fight the fatigue, banish bedtime and whatever you do, don’t fall asleep!

You could cycle, walk, quiz, dance or paint ‘til morning, however you STAY:UP, your one night without sleep could help a homeless young person turn their life around forever.
