The Big 2025 Harrogate Sleep Out

Harrogate Homeless Project, Just 'B' along with Harrogate Spring Water are calling on the local business community to brave the elements and take part in The Big Harrogate Sleepout on Thursday 2nd October 2025. This impactful fundraising event returns for a second year to raise money for those facing homelessness and bereavement in North Yorkshire.

This year’s event is set to be even bigger, with a renewed push to get more companies involved in making a real difference.

Organised by Harrogate Spring Water and the Harrogate Homeless Project (HHP), this year’s Sleepout will also welcome Just ‘B’ as a new charity partner – a specialist bereavement and emotional wellbeing service that is part of a wider charity with Saint Michael’s Hospice.

Registration is £20 per person. This includes a welcome drink, food and entry into the quiz. Participants are encouraged to raise sponsorship. Whilst there is no set minimum, we suggest aiming to raise at least £100. There will also be raffle available and a paid bar on the night.

Harrogate Homeless Project (HHP) has been a vital lifeline for vulnerable individuals in the Harrogate District since 1991, providing safe accommodation and essential support to those experiencing homelessness as they rebuild their lives towards independent living.

The charity's mission is offering a pathway of support, starting with emergency accommodation, and progressing through its hostel to move-on housing. Alongside their accommodation offerings, the charity also provide a Day Centre, providing a safe and welcoming space where individuals can access essential support, including hot meals, healthcare, and pathways to accommodation. T

The demand for the charity's services in Harrogate is stark and continues to rise. The charity's vision is to make sure nobody in the Harrogate District has to sleep rough and that those experiencing homelessness have all the support they need to move towards independent living.

Just ‘B’ is a specialist bereavement support and emotional wellbeing service helping children, young people and adults across the communities of North Yorkshire, as well as offering specialist support regionally and nationally.

Just ‘B’ provides emotional wellbeing and bereavement support, free at the point of need, for children, young people and adults, as well as a range of helplines and specialist services.

Just ‘B’ is part of the independent charity, North Yorkshire Hospice Care, a family of services which includes Herriot Hospice Homecare and Saint Michael’s Hospice. Together the charity offers vital hospice care, emotional wellbeing and bereavement support.

• £100 could help to fund for two hours of Just ‘B’ bereavement and wellbeing support for an adult or child, helping them to navigate their emotions during a difficult time.
  
• £100 will help Harrogate Homeless Project to provide a week's worth of daily support sessions with one of their Case Workers, helping people to take crucial steps to rebuilding their lives and securing long term housing.
