Take part in the Julian House

Big Bath Sleep-Out 2026!

Join us on Friday 6th March and sleep out for just one night to help people who are forced to do so every night.

For one night, swap your warm bed for a sleeping bag under the stars and take a stand against homelessness.

Last year, we provided life-changing support to over 2,000 vulnerable individuals who were experiencing, or at risk of, homelessness; escaping domestic abuse, in recovery from addiction, prison leavers, fleeing war-torn countries, or challenges with their mental health.

It’s a grim realisation that without support like ours, the life expectancy of a long-term homeless person is just 44 years.

You can help us change that!

 

Join us and others for the next Big Bath Sleep-Out as we reflect on those experiencing homelessness and help them wake up to a brighter future. Swap your bed for a sleeping bag and brave the weather for just one night outside. 

The Big Bath Sleep Out isn’t about replicating rough sleeping. Of course, spending one cold night at Alice Park couldn’t possibly come close to the stark reality of being homeless and sleeping on the streets. 

However, if you take on this eye-opening challenge, you will raise funds to help Julian House both rebuild and save lives. 

It may not be your most comfortable night’s sleep, but it will be one of your most worthwhile ones.

What We Do

We operate more than 40 different projects supporting almost 2000 vulnerable people per year.

“Through volunteering at the hostel, I could see that Julian House’s service users had somewhere warm and dry in the day, somewhere to have a hot drink and meal and somewhere to wash their clothes – all the things we take for granted. The staff treated people with dignity, respect and patience.

From passing people on the street – you realise that this is not always the case.

I wanted to take on the Big Bath Sleep-Out again to thank Julian House – as well as raising money and awareness for them.”
