BIG SLEEPOUT and 'TOGETHER FESTIVAL' 2026

One night together against homelessness in South Buckinghamshire.

Swap your bed for a sleeping bag, build your own shelter beneath the November sky, and help raise vital funds for local people facing homelessness and housing insecurity.

And this year, join us for the Together Festival before the Sleepout whether you’re staying the night or not.

Join our community for a night that matters

This November, our community is coming together to say people shouldn’t have to face homelessness alone. As darkness falls over the Walled Garden in West Wycombe, fairy lights will glow, firepits will crackle, stories will be shared, shelters will be built, and you are invited to come together for one night that matters.

You can join us for the evening Together Festival celebrating community, connection, and belonging. Up to 150 people can then take on the overnight Sleepout challenge beneath the cold November sky.

Together, we'll raise vital funds to help local people find safety, support, and stability before a crisis becomes a catastrophe.

And to make sure that we are here to catch them if the catastrophe happens and they have nowhere safe to live.

Wycombe Homeless Connection helps prevent homelessness, provide emergency accommodation, offer practical and emotional support, and help people rebuild safety and stability.

Because everyone deserves somewhere safe to turn when life falls apart.
