Could you sleep rough for the night so that other's don't have to?

YMCA London City and North work with some of the most vulnerable young people who are experiencing homelessness. Their aim whilst they are with them is to help them to develop their life skills and move on to live independently. Each year, YMCA London City and North organise a Sleep Out in aid of the young people suffering from homelessness.

With 395 bedrooms, spread over our five residents’ homes, we help over 620 young people get out of homelessness every year. Our approach is holistic. As well as food and affordable accommodation, YLCAN offers residents personal support, access to training for education and employment, life skills and recreational activities.

  • £50  Art materials for ‘Reclaim the Space’ and other residential art projects

  • £100  IT equipment to allow online access to residents for training and educational, mental health support and benefits

Sleep out and sleep easy knowing that you’re making a real difference to a young person’s life.
