💙 THE BIG SLEEPOUT 2026 – WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT 💙On Friday 9th October, two of our fabulous Great Western crew, Siobhan and Lilly, will be taking part in The Big Sleepout 2026 in support of Helping Hands Community Project.
Helping Hands is a Leamington Spa-based charity supporting people facing homelessness, poverty and hardship across our local community.
The annual Big Sleepout gives participants just a small glimpse into something many people face every day — a night without the safety, warmth and comfort of a home.
The event raises vital awareness and much-needed funds for services including the community kitchen, meals and practical support, groups for vulnerable men and women, and creative and social projects designed to rebuild confidence, connection and community.
So we’re asking for your support. 💙
Every donation, however small, genuinely can make a difference.
And there’s one other thing we need…
🥶 Siobhan and Lilly will actually be sleeping outside, so if anyone has any seriously robust, Arctic-standard sleeping bags, ground sheets or camping mats that we could borrow for the 24 hours, we would be enormously grateful!
It might be a Leamington Spa-based event, but homelessness and hardship are not simply “town problems”. Raising awareness across villages, rural communities and towns alike matters, and every conversation helps.
As always, the support of our Great Western community means the world.
Thank you. 💙
