Spend the night sleeping on the floor in our main space and imagine what it’s like for some of WSUP's guests who don’t have a home to go to every night.

Woolwich Service Users Project (WSUP) is a grassroots charity that provides practical and emotional support to those seeking help in our community.

WSUP's guests who sleep on the streets rely on WSUP for warmth and hot meals. WSUP are the only place in the borough of Greenwich to offer showers and a laundry service. They also give homeless people free haircuts, clothes and toiletries, and support them with mental health and addiction issues.

Join us for the night and raise money to support WSUP's crucial work. Registration is £25.

Please aim to raise £200 per person in sponsorship and donate it via JustGiving. You can create your own JustGiving fundraising page by clicking on the ‘Start fundraising’ button. Why not put together a team with your friends or colleagues?

On the night there will be activities and a chance to learn more about WSUP's work. You’ll have the opportunity to challenge yourself by taking part in a firewalk barefoot over hot coals!

Wrap up warm and bring a sleeping bag. Breakfast will be available to purchase from our café in the morning.

After the event you can choose to donate your sleeping bag and rucksack to the Back to Kindness appeal, an annual, national event, in partnership with Ministry of Sound, which distributes rucksacks of much-needed supplies including food, toiletries, sleeping bags and more to homeless people.
