Talk Don't Walk

Sleepers

Have you ever stopped to think what it might be like to be homeless or what if would be like if you ran away from home? Truth is you will probably never truly know.

Truth is you'll probably never truly know what it's really like.

Taking part in The Big Sleep Out, really made be appreciate the conditions that young people put themselves in when they run away from home and how desperate their situation must be for them to do so. More needs to be done, so will I will be taking part again next year.

Where and When

Join us in March 2009 (date tbc), Talk..Don't Walk will be hosting for the second year running its main fundraising event 'The Big Sleep Out'.

The event will take place at Victoria Park Arena, Knutsford Road, Warrington.

The Big Sleep Out is a great way for people to get involved in the work of Talk…don’t Walk, to raise funds to enable them to continue their work with children and young people and to give people a better understanding of the issues facing young runaways on the street. The people of Warrington have been incredibly supportive of Talk…Don’t Walk in the past, and it was shown on the night too. It was a unique way to raise money and increase awareness.
