Streetlife is a youth work charity whose aim is to assist vulnerable young people in the Blackpool area. Our last event in 2022 saw 150 people from across Lancashire turn out to this amazing cause.
Due to the enormous generosity of families, individuals and businesses, Streetlife raised an amazing £18,500 from the 2022 Big Sleepout, £15,000 in 2021 and an incredible £43,000 in 2019! This money has been used to provide emergency safe accommodation to homeless young people in our Night Shelter at St. Johns Walk in Blackpool town centre.
There is a £10 registration fee which includes a wristband, commemorative Streetlife gift and survival sack.
We ask all participants to commit to raising £50 in sponsorship.
