About

On 5th November 2015 OPENhouse, in collaboration with Marah, will be running its first Rough Traders challenge. The challenge is to not simply sleep rough on the night of the 5th November but to then function in your normal daily activities throughout the following day. For homeless people sleeping rough is only half the story … trying to operate as a fully functioning member of the community when you are sleeping rough is a real challenge. How would you feel if you had to go about your normal daily business having not slept in a bed, not had access to a shower, and other home comforts … such as clean clothes, a hot drink or breakfast? There are three ways we would like to invite you to choose from to become involved in this –take the challenge and get sponsorship for sleeping rough and functioning the following day; sponsor someone to take the challenge; or, just make a donation to the cause. Whichever of these options you select OPENhouse is extremely grateful for your support.
