Stadium Sleepout OGC

Ipswich Town Foundation, in association with Emmaus Suffolk are hosting a Stadium Sleepout event at Portman Road, home of Ipswich Town Football Club. 

This will involve sleeping outside underneath the stars to experience a tiny fraction of what those experiencing homelessness do. We will be given a sheet of cardboard to sleep on and soup for dinner. The event will be going ahead regardless of the weather on 21st March 2025.

Emmaus Suffolk is a local charity which support vulnerable and isolated people across the county facing long-term unemployment, poverty and homelessness. The charity provides affordable meals, daily wellbeing hubs, training opportunities and supported accommodation to help people improve their lives.

Ipswich Town Foundation aims to build an empowered, inspired and  inclusive community to be proud of, using the power of Ipswich Town to make positive changes to the lives of those in the local community. They deliver a range of innovative and inclusive programmes, activities and  initiatives to address local need, reaching over 9,000 young people and vulnerable adults each week.

All funds raised will be split between evenly between both charities. Anything you can donate to help achieve the target will be greatly appreciated!
