Grimsby Students and Staff Brave the Cold for Harbour Place Sleep Out

On Friday night, teams from Grimsby Institute and University Centre Grimsby took part in the Great Grimsby Sleep Out, spending the night outdoors to raise awareness and funds for Harbour Place, the local charity supporting homeless and vulnerably housed people in Grimsby.

Participants experienced firsthand the challenges faced by those without safe shelter, enduring a night in minimal comfort to understand the realities of sleeping rough.

Thanks to the generosity of donors, the teams raised over £700, contributing to a total of more than £10,000 raised across the event. Every pound will help Harbour Place continue providing safe, warm overnight accommodation and essential support for those in need.

Event organisers expressed their gratitude to everyone who donated, shared, and supported the initiative, and commended the participants for their courage and commitment to such an important cause.

The Great Grimsby Sleep Out continues to highlight the impact of community action in tackling homelessness and supporting vulnerable people across the region.
