Pivotal colleagues raised money for YMCA Bournemouth at the weekend, taking part in the Big Sleep Easy on Saturday 14 October 2023.
The Big Sleep Easy event aims to shed light on the challenges faced by individuals experiencing homelessness and raise crucial funds to provide essential support and resources. Participants spent a night sleeping in makeshift shelters in the grounds of Talbot Heath School to gain insight into the realities faced by those without secure housing.
Our Pivotal team braved the elements and slept under the stars to emphasise the urgent need for safe and stable housing for all community members.
Sheena Dayman, Events Manager at YMCA Bournemouth said “One night can make a lifetime of difference”.
Over the past five years, the ‘Big Sleep Easy’ has seen donations over £100,000. All funds raised help those in need achieve independent living and secure a safe and positive long-term future.
