Launchpad Reading

Launchpad Reading Launchpad is Reading’s homelessness prevention charity, providing vital information and support. Which is why Launchpad exists.

Absolutely anyone can find themselves in a situation where they are homeless or at risk of losing their home. Sometimes all it can take are a few poor decisions, some bad luck or an unexpected change in circumstances. And a housing problem is not always easy to overcome - life can get complicated with things like addiction, debt and mental health problems. Whatever your situation - whether you're

worried about losing your home, staying with friends, sleeping in your car, squatting or in emergency or temporary accommodation - we can help you turn things around.

There is still time to plan your very own Big Sleep Out - and we can help you!

You could do this with your company, your school, scout or guide group, or local community group such as a choir or WI. Take a look at the guide on our website. https://launchpadreading.org.uk/start-planning-your-big-sleep-out/

We give participants a cosy beanie hat and one of our ambassadors could give a talk about our work before you bed down for the night.

Sleep Outs offer a great bonding experience and you're supporting a local charity which works hard to prevent homelessness in the Reading area.
