Since its beginnings in 2010, YMCA Sleep Easy has seen over 7,000 people sleep rough in order to raise over £1.5 million for local YMCA services that assist young people in rebuilding their lives.
Sleep Easy is a unique challenge – offering an insight into the challenge of sleeping rough and a chance for you to help change lives. You can take part by yourself or join a team with family, friends or work colleagues. The event takes place on the grounds of the YMCA Cheltenham Sports Centre.

Every year, we see participants agrab a sleeping bag, build cardboard forts and join forces at the YMCA Cheltenham Sports Centre to brave the elements.
The challenge event asks you to spend one night sleeping rough in order to raise critical funds to assist us in addressing the root causes of youth homelessness.
By taking part in Sleep Easy you will help raise vital funds and awareness to support the work of YMCA Cheltenham across Gloucestershire – working with some of society’s most vulnerable people, helping them to realise their potential and supporting them on their journey from homelessness to independence.
We will send you an information pack telling you everything you need to know about Sleep Easy 2025.
You will then be invited to set up your fundraising page and share it among your network to help spread awareness and raise funds for those in need.
