Multiple's Sleep Out for EveryYouth
Sleep Out 2024
In November 2024, 12 fearless members of the Multiple team took on the EveryYouth Sleep Out to raise money for homeless young people across the UK. Last year, 136,000 16-25 year olds in the UK approached their local authority because they were homeless or facing homelessness.
EverYouth exists to help these vulnerable young people access mental health support, enter meaningful employment, and secure a home of their own so that they can move on from homelessness for good. To help them in this mission, some of our team swapped their beds for sleeping bags in the picturesque gardens of the Museum of the Home as part of EverYouth’s annual Sleep Out event.
“It was cold, it was uncomfortable and I’m not sure if I got more than a couple hours sleep, but knowing that you were doing something to support such a great cause made it all worthwhile.” - Imogen Hunter, Production Coordinator.
“Whilst it obviously in no way replicates what it must be like for young people without a home to go to, it’s still incredibly humbling to be able to do something in recognition of the hardships they face” - Charlie Read, Senior Motion Graphics Editor.
"Sleep Out raises vital funds for our work, supporting the thousands of young people facing homelessness across the UK.
Most young people who become homeless have had a very hard childhood; many have been in care but more have fallen through the gaps entirely. We at EveryYouth are relentless in our belief that every young person, no matter what they have experienced, has the potential to thrive.
As youth homelessness continues to rise, there is no time to waste. It is imperative that we show solidarity with young people, so they know people in their communities care about them. This show of compassion can have a huge impact on an individual’s ability to put homelessness behind them, help them develop self-worth and, ultimately, contribute to society.
Thank you to everyone at The Multiple Agency who took part in Sleep Out 2024."
