We’re excited to announce that the Step by Step Sleep Out is back for 2024!
Taking place on Friday 11th October, participants will bed down underneath the stars for the night, with just their sleeping bags to protect them from the elements. All proceeds raised will support young people facing homelessness and other challenges.
The Sleep Out will once again be held at Farnborough Business Park, having proved a fantastic venue over the last couple of years. Participants will sleep under the iconic airship hanger frame for an experience like no other.
Our Sleep Out is not intended to replicate the true misery of sleeping rough for real – a reality faced by hundreds of young people each year. However, we do hope to raise awareness and funds to support our life-changing work.
The evening will feature a barbeque, live music and inspiring speakers, before the lights go out and participants face the prospect of a long, cold night.
Jenny Westmoreland, Fundraising Manager, commented: “The Sleep Out is a fantastic event for Step by Step. It’s great fun to get everyone together, but it also has its serious side. Previous participants have told us that it really opens their eyes to homelessness and rough sleeping. We can all go home and have a shower the next morning; the thought of having to sleep rough night after night is truly horrifying."

We are proud to announce the opening of our new move-on property in Bedhampton. This home will support up to four young people aged 18 and over, many of whom might otherwise be left waiting on housing lists, homeless, or relying on a friend’s sofa.
The Bedhampton property is the third Step by Step move-on home – a unique accommodation model for young people ready to move on with their lives but with no viable housing options available to them.
