Sleep Easy

YMCA Sleep Easy

Since its beginnings in 2010, YMCA Sleep Easy has seen over 7,000 people sleep rough in order to raise over £1.5 million for local YMCA services that assist young people in rebuilding their lives.

YMCAs are encouraging supporters to make a lifetime of difference by participating in national YMCA Sleep Easy events taking place across England and Wales.

Participants from YMCAs across England and Wales will spend one night sleeping somewhere other than their bed to raise crucial funds to help address the root causes of youth homelessness.

Getting involved with YMCA Sleep Easy

YMCA Sleep Easy 2024 was held on 8 March 2024!

We saw participants across England and Wales grab a sleeping bag, build cardboard forts and go somewhere other than their bed to sleep, such as their garden, living room, hallway, or another safe location.

The challenge event asks you to spend one night sleeping somewhere other than your bed in order to raise critical funds to assist us in addressing the root causes of youth homelessness.
