The Big Channing Sleep Out 2024

On Saturday 5th October, 40 Channing students from Years 9 & 10 slept out under the stars in the Channing Junior School to raise awareness and money to help support homeless and vulnerable people in our community.

Students only had a sleeping bag, a sleeping mat (or cardboard), one tarpaulin per group and a torch. They were required to buy their dinner and breakfast with just £3.00 and had no access to technology from 8 pm Saturday till 8 am Sunday.

This of course is nothing like the reality of being homeless, but it’s a simple act of solidarity and a great tangible way for our students to get involved and raise awareness of such an important issue.

The students are also fundraising both individually and as a group. They would greatly appreciate your support! Every pound counts, and all funds raised will be donated to organisations dedicated to making a meaningful difference to the lives of those in need.
