My Story

We're sleeping out so young people don't have to.

On 1st September 2025, the management team at Edgbaston Park Hotel will be taking part in a Sleep Out within the hotel grounds, all to raise vital funds for St Basils – a charity supporting young people at risk of or experiencing homelessness.

This challenge isn’t about recreating what it’s like to be homeless. We know that spending one night outdoors, with access to toilets and a warm space at the end of it, is a world away from the harsh reality that many young people face.

But by stepping outside our comfort zones, even just for one night, we hope to gain a small insight – and most importantly, to raise awareness and funds that can change lives.

Please support us if you can – your donation, big or small, truly makes a difference.

Thank you.

About St Basils

St Basils works with young people aged 16-25 who are homeless or at risk of homelessness, to enable them to find and keep a home, grow their confidence, develop their skills, increase opportunities and prevent homelessness.

They operate 40+ projects in the West Mids area and over 500 units of accomodation per night, as well as a range of prevention and support services.

All the funds raised through this page will directly help the Young People supported by St Basils. Together, we hope to make a lasting impact and help stop the cycle of homelessness.
