📢 There is still time to take part in Homeless Action in Barnet's Big Sleep fundraising event!

See how to get involved below.

𝗕𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗲𝘁, 𝘄𝗲 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂 🏕️

Barnet's Big Sleep Out is getting closer – and we still need more people to take part.

We know we ask a lot of this community. You donate food. You volunteer. You support our appeals. You're with us throughout the year.

But this one is different, and it 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 matters.

Demand for HAB's support has been exceptionally high, while the funding available simply isn't keeping pace.

So this month, could you do something a little extraordinary?

Give up your bed for one night and help us make sure people facing homelessness in Barnet know they are not forgotten.

👉 Sign up today: https://big-sleep-out.raiselysite.com

❤️ Please share this post – even if sleeping out isn't for you. Someone who sees your share might take part.
