We are thrilled to be launching our very first “Big Sleep Out” at Northstead School on Saturday, 30th August 2025 — made possible thanks to the generous support of Mr. Hopper the headteacher, and the school team.
The goal of this event is to raise both awareness of homelessness and rough sleeping, and much needed funds for The Rainbow Centre, helping us continue our vital work within the local community.
Event Highlights:
Sign-up fee: £10 per adult (children attend for free)
Sleeping arrangements: Sleeping bags only – no tents – to give participants a small taste of what those experiencing homelessness endure every night
Entertainment: A film screening on our outdoor cinema screen before lights out
Food: Bring your own picnic, but a soup kitchen will be present later in the evening.
The Rainbow Centre has been serving Scarborough’s most vulnerable people for nearly 28 years. We offer a wide range of essential services including:
A foodbank and café
Hot showers and laundry facilities
Access to clothing, toiletries, and bedding
Start-up packs for new homes
A debt advice service
In 2024 alone, we provided food to over 1,000 people each month and carried out almost 20,000 critical interventions.
We are proud to work with trusted partners such as McCain, Proudfoot Group, Tesco, Sainsbury’s, Aldi, Lidl, Greggs, Dunelm, HSBC, and many others — all dedicated to supporting local people in need.
