On Friday 28th February 2025, Cambridge United Foundation and Wintercomfort will once again join forces for the ‘United for Cambridge Sleepout’, to raise awareness and vital funds in support of their work with homeless and disadvantaged people in the city...
Individuals and teams from across the community are invited to brave the elements for one night, sleeping out on the terraces of Cambridge United’s Cledara Abbey Stadium
James Holden, Wintercomfort’s Fundraising Manager, explains: “Once again, we at Wintercomfort are delighted to be teaming up with Cambridge United and the Cambridge United Foundation for the United for Cambridge Sleepout 2025.
“This event brings both awareness and vital funds to the work of both Wintercomfort and Cambridge United Foundation.
“It is a wonderful opportunity for people to come together in support of those in greatest need in our community, as sadly the number of rough sleepers and those vulnerably housed across Cambridge is continuing to rise and in need our support and services more than ever.”
Last year saw over 100 people take part in the event, raising an incredible £30,000 in the process.
Simon Wall, Cambridge United Foundation’s Community Engagement Manager, added, “Last year’s sleepout was a brilliant event, but as always, we are looking to build on our previous successes. We would therefore love to see more people and companies get involved for the 2025 event and raise even more money.”
Tickets for the United for Cambridge Sleepout are £20 per person and each participant is asked to raise a minimum of £100 in sponsorship. The ticket price includes a two-course evening meal, an interactive quiz and hot breakfast the morning after.
