SLIPPER DAY

On Friday, 7th March, Warminster School will be holding a Wear your Slippers to School Day, a nationwide initiative organized by EveryYouth to combat youth homelessness. Pupils and staff are encouraged to wear their favourite slippers or silly slippers, to school & donate £2 to support the cause. This event aims to raise awareness and funds for the 136,000 young people in the UK who faced homelessness last year. By holding a Slipper Day, we are supporting EveryYouth which is a UK-based charity dedicated to supporting young people aged 16 to 25 who are facing homelessness. Their mission is to empower these individuals by providing access to mental health support, facilitating meaningful employment opportunities, and helping them secure stable housing. Recognizing that homelessness often stems from complex personal and systemic issues, EveryYouth collaborates with a network of regional organizations to deliver tailored, community-based services.

BIG SLEEP OUT

At Warminster School will be doing our very first BIG SLEEP OUT in support of EveryYouth- Open to current pupils only.

EveryYouth is a movement of the UK’s leading youth homelessness charities, helping to provide bright futures for vulnerable young people.

There are currently 129,000 young people facing homelessness in the UK. A staggering figure and one that has inspired us to do all that we can to help. On Saturday 8th March we invite our pupils to give up their beds for one night and sleep outside at the school to raise funds for young people facing homelessness across the UK. All information can be found on Firefly via the QR. 

All we ask is, for your child a make a pledge to raise a minimum of £50, There will be limited spaces available, 10 pupils per year group can sign up, once we are full, we will close sign up.

This is a challenge that we hope our pupils will step up to, whilst raise money for a worthwhile cause. It will also allow time to think about other teenagers who don’t have the comfort of a loving & warm home.

We're aiming to raise £2,000.00. So far we've raised £2,751.90
