Could you face sleeping out on the 5th December to raise funds for our vital youth homelessness services?

MACS Supporting Children and Young People (MACS) is NI’s youth-specific homelessness charity. We invite you sleep out in recognition, not replication, of youth homelessness this Winter?

Please join us for a group event on the 5th December 2024 from 7pm-7am. 🥯

Sleep Out is a fun evening. This year we have comedy from Paddy Raff, live music, a drum circle from The Gathering Drum and snacks and hot drinks courtesy of Bodega Bagels.

At 11pm the challenge begins. You get into your sleeping bag and sleep out until daybreak. 💤
