St Wilfrid’s Centre Sleep Out 2020 at SUFC


  • Sheffield United Football Ground Bramall Lane Sheffield, England, S2 United Kingdom (map)

Come and Join us for our Biggest Ever Sleep Out at Bramall Lane.

The St Wilfrid's Centre Sleep Out is returning for its third year but this year we are asking you to get sponsored to sleep in the stands of SUFC at Bramall Lane. With your help we want to raise £25,000 which will pay for the salary of a welfare worker to work with homeless and vulnerable adults.   

Sleeping Rough is a growing problem in our City. By choosing to sleep outside in the stands of SUFC we are asking you to challenge yourself and go without the creature comforts of your own home and gain a small insight into what it is like for rough sleepers, for whom sleeping rough is not a one-off experience.

How to get involved

We are asking all participants to raise a minimum of £50 in sponsorship and pay a £20 registration fee.

Once you have registered online using the link below, we will send you all the information that you need to get prepared for your night outside.

Experience something new, support our work and take on our challenge by registering today.

This event is open to participants age 14 plus. This event is a ‘dry’ event and alcohol will not be permitted.

PLEASE NOTE – anyone under the age of 16 must be accompanied by an adult. Maximum of 2 children per adult.

 Sleep Out Details

Participants are invited to arrive at Bramall Lane from 7. 00 pm. Time to drop off bags and ‘hang out’ at SUFC in the concourse, play some card games and chat until closing time at 11.00 pm. Hot soup and drinks will be served at 9.30 pm.

Everyone will be asked to get ready for bed at 11.00 pm, get their cardboard bedding and settle in for the night, with lights off at midnight.

Over the course of the evening there might well be a Blades’ Legend or two popping in to say hello and wish you goodnight!

A light breakfast will be served from 6.30 pm and there will be a spot of yoga at 7.30 to help stretch out the tired limbs.  

gosh, I’m glad that was only for one night but I enjoyed taking part
