The SVP Sleep Out

Year 12’s and staff members at St John’s Catholic Comprehensive will be partaking in their annual Sleep Out to raise money for the Gravesham Sanctuary and raise awareness of the plight of the homeless. See the poster Showing solidarity with those experiencing homelessness. The SVP would like to engage with our young people to raise awareness of the issues surrounding homelessness in England and Wales. This experience will not only give our young people a better understanding of what thousands experience every day, it will also give them the opportunity to turn their concern into action by raising vital funds which enables the SVP to continue to support the most vulnerable and socially excluded in our communities.

More about Higham

Kent, England

Higham sits quietly in Kent and never needs to shout to be heard about what's on this week. The Higham Working Men's Club has been the local heartbeat for years, hosting everything from folk nights to quiz evenings without missing a beat. It is a proper place where neighbours meet over a pint or two rather than scrolling through a phone screen. There are always live shows happening somewhere nearby if you fancy a night out after work. We pull all the dates into one spot so you don't have to hunt them down on a rainy Tuesday. Just drop in and see what the locals are getting up to before they go home for bed.
