YMCA Norfolk Sleep Easy 2012


Sleep rough so others don’t have to!

 

Every night people young and old from across Norfolk are sleeping rough - they don't have a choice but you do! Can you give up your bed for one night?

 

If so, Sleep Easy is back this year on Saturday January 28th 2012. Participants are asked to brave the cold, sleep in a cardboard box for one night and get sponsored for their efforts in the third annual YMCA Sleep Easy! Not only will it be a challenging and eye opening experience, but a evening of fun and entertainment.

 

All money raised from this event will go towards the work of YMCA Norfolk, including the supported accommodation we provide for over 400  young people every night who might otherwise be homeless.
