We need you for the Big Chorley Sleepout 2026.

On Friday 13th November, we’ll be spending the night outside at Victory Park to raise money to support local people who are homeless, struggling or going through difficult times.

Last year, together we raised around £8,000. This year we want to make an even bigger difference, but that only happens if people get involved.

We’re looking for individuals, groups of friends, local businesses, community organisations and Chorley Football Club supporters to join us for the night and aim to raise at least £150 each in sponsorship.

Sleeping outside at Victory Park for one night obviously isn’t the same as experiencing homelessness. We know that we get to pack up in the morning and go home. But it is a chance to raise money, raise awareness and bring people together to help others in our own community.

We also want to say a massive thank you to Scope Fire & Security and Aspect Mortgages, who have already backed this year’s Sleepout as sponsors.

Having local businesses prepared to support events like this makes a huge difference, and we really appreciate them getting behind us.

Now we need you to join them.

Well, the news is officially out there… 🌙

On Friday 13 November, we’ll be spending another night on the cold concrete floor of Victory Park for the Big Chorley Sleepout.

We’re doing it to raise money for three amazing local organisations:

❤️ Lets Make A Difference – helping people at risk of homelessness and working to ensure everyone has somewhere safe to call home.

❤️ SVP Chorley Buddies – providing food, practical help and a friendly face for local people facing hardship or isolation.

❤️ Chorley FC Community Foundation – using sport, activities and community support to improve people’s health, wellbeing and opportunities.

Now, we need people to join us.

Businesses, teams, individuals, families, groups of friends—this is open to anyone who wants to experience a very different kind of night at Victory Park while supporting people across our community.

It’ll be cold. It won’t be comfortable. But it will be an experience you’ll never forget, and every penny raised will help people who are either at risk of homelessness or need support before they reach that point.

We’d absolutely love you to sign up and join us:

A quick thank you to Larissa, Vonte and Jack, who joined us yesterday as we officially launched our new Chorley FC Community Foundation Youth Media Team! 🎥⚽

We spent a couple of hours before the game getting to grips with the equipment and creating content with fans around Victory Park.

After the final whistle, the group spent some time with Chorley Football Club’s media man Pete, as well as First Team Manager Andy Preece, who shared some brilliant tips on how to ask the kind of questions that actually get interesting answers!

It was a great first session and we’re really looking forward to seeing where the young people take it from here.

And this group is only going to grow. If you’ve got a 12–15 year old who’d like to get involved in filming, interviewing, social media and creating matchday content, please drop us a message.

Of course, we couldn’t finish the day without the obligatory post-match photo with the man usually *behind* the camera, David Airey! 📸

Great start, team. 👏

More than 30 local businesses joined us at Victory Park this morning for another fantastic Chorley FC Business Club.

Our guests heard from Phil Owen, Vickie Blackburn and Jamie Vermiglio, who shared their expertise, experiences and some of the personal stories behind their work.

We also provided an update on the latest work of Chorley FC Community Foundation and officially launched this year’s Community Sleepout. It was brilliant to see several people in the room immediately commit to taking part, giving us a great start as we work towards making this year’s event our biggest yet.

Thank you to our speakers and to every business that joined us, supported the event and helped create such a positive atmosphere.

A special thank you to dia-images photography for capturing the morning. Take a look through the gallery to see some brilliant photographs—and see if you can spot yourself! 👀📸

Chorley, are you in? 👀

On Friday 13 November, we’re swapping warm beds for a night sleeping in the stands at Victory Park.

It’ll probably be cold. It might be a little uncomfortable. But it’s one night that could make a huge difference to people across our community.

This year, the Big Chorley Sleepout at Victory Park will raise money for three brilliant local organisations: Chorley FC Community Foundation, SVP Chorley Buddies and Let’s Make A Difference.

Last year, we collectively raised an incredible £8,000. This year, we want to go even bigger.

So grab your mates, rally your colleagues or sign up on your own. However you join us, you’ll be part of something special.
