Event Update:
Charity Sleep Out, Birmingham City Centre
Last night, participants took to the streets of Birmingham City Centre for a charity sleep‑out, raising vital funds to help end homelessness across the UK. For one night, they experienced a small glimpse of what thousands of people face every single day - sleeping rough in unsafe, exposed conditions.
According to the UK Government’s Rough Sleeping Data Framework, an estimated 8,748 people were sleeping rough across England in June 2026, with 3,980 people sleeping rough on a single night during that period. Rough sleeping long‑term is also at a record high, with 3,253 people experiencing prolonged street homelessness.
These figures are a stark reminder of why events like this matter - raising awareness, raising funds, and raising voices for those who often go unheard.
We were proud to provide medical cover throughout the night, supporting participants as they braved the cold streets to shine a light on homelessness. A huge thank you to the organisers for their commitment to this cause - we look forward to working with you again in the future.
