SUMMARY:St Basils 35th Big Sleepout!
DESCRIPTION:Join Us for St Basils 35th Big Sleepout!
Sleep out for one night so a young person doesn’t have to.
Since 1990, the Big Sleepout has been St Basils’ flagship fundraising event, bringing together hundreds of incredible people every year to raise vital funds and awareness for youth homelessness in the West Midlands.
On Friday 28th November 2025, we’re celebrating the 35th Big Sleepout — and we’d love for you to be part of it!
Register for Big Sleepout 2025
Registration closes Wednesday 26th November.
Why Take Part?
Every £16 you raise provides a safe place for a young person for one night.
Your night under the stars will help St Basils continue supporting over 4,000 young people each year with accommodation, advice, and opportunities for the future. See below for our impacts last year:
