Sleep Walk for Shelter

Shelter, the UK’s leading housing and homelessness charity, is calling on Londoners to come together this Christmas and Sleep Walk for Shelter in order to raise money to support the 135 families across Britain who become homeless every day.

Sleep Walk for Shelter is a 10-kilometre night walk through London where supporters will come together to brave the winter elements, and make a stand against homelessness this Christmas. The walk will start in Liverpool Street and end in Waterloo, where participants will come together for a festive reception. There will be speeches, entertainment, refreshments, and the opportunity to learn about the current homeless crisis while walking in solidarity and raising much needed funds for Shelter’s vital work this Christmas.

Celebrities including Mel C (singer and former Spice Girl), Mo Gilligan (comedian) and Julie Adenuga (DJ) are all supporting the campaign.

Under pressure from those affected, as well as campaigners like Shelter, the government has begun to take action. But the numbers of people homeless or suffering from bad housing is still rising. Sleep Walk for Shelter aims to further support the cause, uniting Londoners to brave the winter conditions and walk across the capital at night to take a stand against homelessness and raise much needed funds to fight the crisis.

Participants are required to fundraise a minimum of £100
