Taking part on 25th April 2008
at Madejski Stadium
Come along to this years RSHP Sleep Out and help us break down walls between the homeless and a positive future
Join people from across Berkshire to raise vital funds and awareness by sleeping outside for just one night, helping break down walls between RSHP clients and a happier, more independent lifestyle.
Don't just believe our word about RSHP's Sleep Out, listen to some other famous names from Reading about what they think:
Marcus Hahnemann (Reading FC Goalkeeper):
“It's never going to be easy to sleep outside but its nothing compared to the unimaginable hardship that people go through when they have no home of their own. Get involved to make sure that some of the most vulnerable people of Reading are in RSHP's safe hands.”
Nicky Shorey (Reading FC and England Footballer)
“It could be cold, it might be uncomfortable, but it will make a difference. It's a chance for people in Reading to take action, and support a charity who is working tirelessly to end social exclusion caused by homelessness. Together we can put homelessness on the bench.”
Kenneth Branagh (Oscar Nominated Director)
“This is my third year supporting the Sleep Out. Sleeping Out in 2008 can give chances to people in Reading and surrounding areas who are lost with no where else to turn. RSHP is the first step to long term housing, health, education and self esteem for many people who have suffered from homelessness.”
John Madejski (Reading FC Chariman)
“I am proud for Madejski Stadium to play host to Reading Single Homeless Project's Sleep Out for the 5 th year in a row. Reading is a great town, but we all have to work harder to make sure that everyone in our town is able to access the right support and housing which will enable them to work through any issues they might have.”
