Sleep Out for Porchlight – Target Smashed!

We did it! Thanks to the incredible generosity of our community, we have surpassed our fundraising goal! An amazing £2,925 has now been raised – exceeding our target of £2,500 – with support from over 173  generous donors.

On the night of the event, 50 courageous MGGS Sixth Form students gave up the comfort of their beds and slept outside in cardboard shelters to raise awareness of homelessness and support the work of Porchlight, a charity helping some of the most vulnerable people in our society.

The evening included a thought-provoking workshop delivered by Porchlight, a simple shared meal, and the construction of makeshift shelters – all designed to deepen our understanding of the real-life challenges faced by those without a home.

This event has not only raised vital funds but also sparked important conversations and lasting empathy. We are incredibly proud of everyone involved.

Thank you to everyone who donated and supported the cause – your kindness has made a real difference.

Non sibi sed omnibus – Not for oneself but for all.
