Little Big Sleep Out: How you can take part in Chichester charity’s virtual fundraiser to help the homeless

Stonepillow is asking supporters to raise money for the charity by finding their silliest sleeping spot – a bath, sofa, the floor or a night under the stars – as part of the Little Big Sleep Out at Home.

A spokesman for the charity said: “The funds raised will ensure that Stonepillow can continue working in partnership with Arun and Chichester district councils to provide the housing and essential support which improves the health and wellbeing of homeless and vulnerable people, delivering fresh food and essential provisions daily to keep the clients safe and nourished during the coronavirus pandemic.”

The Stonepillow Big Sleep Out 2020 in Bognor Regis was due to take place next Saturday (May 16).

Instead, the charity will be streaming family entertainment throughout the afternoon and evening, with live performances of music, magic, quizzes and fun fitness, and lots of printable materials for puzzles, colouring and exciting things to do on the day.

The Little Big Sleep Out at Home starts at 3pm next Saturday, May 16.
