inHope: Raising funds to help people rough sleeping in Bristol

The Sleepout 2024 is an opportunity to raise funds for inHope, whilst also gaining an insight into the experience of people who are rough sleeping. Whilst one night could never fully replicate the horrors faced by people rough sleeping, it does offer an opportunity to understand some of the challenges.

This year, the Sleepout will be raising money for all of the services provided by inHope, through the Wild Goose, Spring of Hope, Life Recovery, and South & East Bristol Foodbank.

One25: Help raise money to help the city’s most marginalised women

Over half the women we support face homelessness. By giving up your time and luxuries for one night you’re highlighting the reality of their daily struggle whilst doing something to help them.

All you need to know

It’s free and easy to sign up. We ask you to raise what you can and spread awareness of the disadvantages these women face. With passion and drive, we know you can make the most of this opportunity!

Home for Good / Safe Families Vision Night, Mon 30th Oct

Join the two organisations as they explain why they are merging and their vision for the future.

Monday 30th Sept, 8pm to 9pm
Online

Come and join us on September 30th for an exciting evening as we launch the merger of Safe Families and Home for Good, sharing why we believe this decision will see more children and families thrive.

You’ll hear from Co-CEO’s Kat and Tarn about the work of Safe Families and Home for Good respectively, and you’ll be among the first to hear about the heart behind our decision to bring these two successful charities together.

We’ll be joined by some very special guests, including those who have benefitted from the support of Safe Families and Home for Good. And you’ll also get to hear about the ways you can continue to play your part as we seek to serve church, children, and families with greater impact than we could do individually.
