REGISTER INTEREST for the Big Accrington Sleep Out!
On Friday 23 October 2026, Maundy Relief and Shelter Lancashire are coming together to host The Big Accrington Sleep Out. This aim to create a powerful community event raising vital funds and awareness to support people affected by homelessness in our community.
A sleep out is not an attempt to recreate or experience homelessness. No one can replicate the trauma, uncertainty and challenges of not having a safe place to call home. Instead, this event is an opportunity to stand in solidarity with people affected by homelessness, raise vital funds and increase awareness of the housing emergency.
