Sleepout raises £7,875 to support Rochdale community

On Friday 29th August 2025, Petrus joined forces with Rochdale AFC Community Trust for 'Sleep Out So No One Is Left Out,' a powerful night of solidarity and action at the Crown Oil Arena.

Together, we raised £7,875.52 to support people experiencing homelessness in Rochdale, to be split even between our two charities. The event saw participants spend the night outdoors, facing the cold and discomfort that thousands endure every night when facing homelessness.

This fundraiser couldn’t have come at a more critical time. As we head into winter, demand for our services will surge. More people will turn to us for warmth, food, clothing, and support. For many, it will be the difference between surviving and slipping further into crisis.

The money raised will help us provide:

  • Hot meals for vulnerable people
  • Showers and laundry facilities for people sleeping rough
  • Emergency winter clothing bundles
  • Crisis intervention and housing support
  • A safe, welcoming space at our Hub when there’s nowhere else to go

Thank you to everyone who took part, donated, or supported the event. Your compassion helps us keep fighting for a future where homelessness is rare, brief, and never repeated.
