Experience rough sleeping in a safe environment managed by Threshold Housing Link, Swindon’s homelessness charity.

• Experience ‘actually’ how it is to be rough sleeping
• Gain a real experience on what it’s like to be homeless but with the safety and security of friends and colleagues (and without the extreme exposure and vulnerability)

• Really empathise and understand from direct experience
• Create Social Impact that directly benefits homeless people in Swindon
• Be part of supporting excellence in human outreach and support, right here in our town

Why is it the best Corporate Team building event to engage and support this year?

Team building becomes more effective when team contributors are taken beyond their comfort
zone and overcome a difficult challenge together. When people mobilise around the causes they
care about, it builds a safe and supportive community.

Where does the money go? Funds raised go directly to front line services to
prevent homelessness in Swindon. What are they used for?

• Food provision
• Bedding, blankets, sleeping bags
• Survival packs (personal toiletries, utensils, torches, wet wipes, non-perishable food, warm clothes; gloves, beanies, socks, etc.)
• Day Centre; provide homeless people with a hot drink and sandwiches

The above list is non-exhaustive
