Youngsters invited to give up their bed for a night to help homeless
Young people are being encouraged to give up their beds this December as part of the movement against homelessness.
The Wee Sleep Out has been launched by social enterprise Social Bite, which has run Sleep In The Park events for adults in Scotland over the last few years raising more than £10 million to try end homelessness. The Wee Sleep Out will allow under-18s to get involved with their own sleep outs on the weekend of December 6-7, the same weekend as Social Bite’s World’s Big Sleep Out.
It’s free to sign up and participants will receive a workshop, alongside lots of useful resources. Workshops, delivered by a small team, headed up by Social Bite co-founder Alice Thompson, cover homelessness, social enterprise and how under 18s can organise and host their Wee Sleep Out alongside a supporting adult.
Wee Sleep Out ran a pilot last year, with 5000 participants and over £110,000 raised by young people all over Scotland. To register and for more information visit www.weesleepout.co.uk
