At the end of March 2024, we took on our annual SleepOut to raise much-needed funds for Streetlife. Every year, locals show their support and recognise the immense help we provide to young people in Blackpool.

The SleepOut involves around 150 people sleeping out on the streets of Blackpool outside the Night Shelter for one night. The event has been hugely successful in the past in raising awareness and essential funds to keep our services going.

Every day, we open our doors to new faces at the Base and the Night Shelter. Thanks to the unwavering support of the local community, we can offer these young people more than just a place to sleep and a hot meal. We provide them with a safe space, a supportive community, and the tools they need to rebuild their lives.

SleepOut 2024

At Streetlife, we want to say a huge thank you to everyone who donated to this year’s event and took the time to attend as well. Your support means so much to us and the many young people aged between 16 and 25 that we support.

At this year’s SleepOut, we raised an incredible £29,000, and every penny will go towards changing the lives of vulnerable young people in Blackpool. An amazing 120 people took part in the event, which means so much to our team.

It costs around £85,000 each year to keep the Night Shelter open 24/7. Without the money that you help us to raise, we wouldn’t be able to offer the incredible support that we currently do. Your help allows us to make sure that young, vulnerable people in Blackpool have somewhere safe to go when they need it the most.

We want to say thank you from the bottom of our hearts for following and supporting us on our journey of supporting young people.

We’re already looking forward to Streetlife’s SleepOut in 2025, and we’ll keep you updated on the details if you’d like to join us!
