Join the West London Mission’s annual Sleep Out on Friday 25 October and help support homeless people off the streets and onto a better chapter in their lives. The sleep out is an opportunity for you to be sponsored by friends, family and colleagues, sleeping out for just one night so that others don’t have to. Hosted in the secure gardens of St James’s Church, Piccadilly, you get to safely experience a few of the challenges that homeless people have to face every night.
