The Big Sleep

About

The BIG Sleep supporting homeless veterans, comes to the Old Royal Naval College London.

No veteran should call the street a home. Too many Armed Forces veterans are still sleeping rough or sofa surfing because they have hit a crisis in their civilian lives.

Join Alabaré for The Big Sleep where you’re invited to sleep out at the Old Royal Naval College to raise funds and make a stand against veteran homelessness.

Alabaré provide a series of homes and support programmes for veterans who are homeless or struggling. The sponsorship you raise will go directly to help fund the pathway of support for vulnerable veterans, ensuring they have a safe home, training, and support with their mental wellbeing.
