Give up your comfort and sleep out in march
raise vital funds to give homeless veterans a safe place to call home.
During the month of March we need you to sleep out beneath the stars and fundraise for veterans across the UK. The challenge doesn’t replicate rough sleeping, but it does give you an idea of the situation far too many of the nation’s heroes find themselves in.
What is the Great Tommy Sleep Out?
The Great Tommy Sleep Out is an national award winning fundraising challenge designed to support veterans that are experiencing homelessness in the UK right now.
Sleep outside for one night or more.
The challenge is up to you, just pick your location, plan your night out and get fundraising!
Once you have your first donation, you’ll get an exclusive 2025 Sleep Out beanie and fundraising pack. Everyone is welcome and we have an incredible Facebook community for you to meet other supporters and make lifelong friends!

Why take part?
For the past 105 years RBLI has helped veterans by providing homes, jobs and welfare support. In 2024 together we raised an incredible £1.2 million through The Great Tommy Sleepout which has enabled us to bring veterans in from the cold. Despite this RBLI is still recieving a record number of requests for our services which is why we need you to sign up today to take part in The Great Tommy Sleepout.
The Difference you’ll Make
Every pound raised from The Great Tommy Sleep Out help UK veterans by allowing us to provide safe homes and the support they need to get back on their feet.
Our emergency accommodation, Mountbatten Pavilion, is facing enormous pressure this winter and will rely heavily on funds raised from your Sleep Out.
2024 highlights
“It was a pleasure to come back for my second year, these heroes deserve more and if I can help even just a little bit I will continue to do so. It’s such a fantastic cause and an absolute privilege to be a small part of it.”
