Sleeping Rough to End Rough Sleeping: Hartlepool’s Coldest Night

the cornerstone team outside in the cold
On the coldest night of the year, our staff and volunteers slept rough using Sleep Pods to raise awareness while opening our doors to those in need. Thanks to their dedication, we achieved zero rough sleepers in Hartlepool, showing what’s possible when a community comes together.

This is a guest post from our distribution partner Cornerstone:

Last night, we did a role reversal on the coldest night of the year! While we opened our doors to rough sleepers, our incredible staff and volunteers slept rough using Sleeppods to raise awareness. Our goal? Zero rough sleepers on the streets of Hartlepool and we achieved it! 💙🧡

A massive thank you to all our teams and volunteers who gave their time and effort voluntarily, with no funding. Your dedication truly made a difference! Our homeless hub has just closed for the day but is open 6 days a week for anyone in need, and it’s all run without any financial support.

If you believe in our mission and want to support the homeless in the Northeast, please consider donating. Every bit helps us keep making a difference! 💙

🧡
