The Big PNE Sleep Out will return to Deepdale on Friday 27th March 2026, as Preston North End Community and Education Trust (PNECET), Foxton, Blog Preston and Veolia join forces to tackle homelessness in Preston.
Participants will spend the night sleeping on cardboard at the home of Preston North End in a show of solidarity with people experiencing homelessness. The event aims to raise £100,000 to support initiatives focused on women and girls facing housing insecurity.
Previous Sleep Outs in 2019 and 2023 attracted hundreds of people and raised nearly £150,000, helping Foxton purchase a house in Ashton-on-Ribble and expand support services at its Fox Street day centre.
Organisers say every £83 raised can support a rough sleeper in crisis, while larger donations help fund women’s centre services and specialist advocacy.
Registration is free for those aged 18 and over, with individuals and teams invited to sign up and fundraise ahead of the event.
