TRINITY Winchester’s virtual Big Sleep Out at home raised over £21,000 for homeless and vulnerable people. The event at home on Friday May 14 saw over 100 participants sleep out in their own gardens. Instead of cancelling the annual fundraiser, the charity adapted the Big Sleep Out to ensure it was Covid-safe and asked supporters to swap their comfortable beds for one night to help those without one. On the night, participants enjoyed a packed programme of online entertainment and information via Facebook Live. Following a welcome message from the Dean of Winchester, the Very Rev Catherine Ogle, Trinity’s patron, the Lord Lieutenant of Hampshire, Nigel Atkinson introduced a video tour of its new accommodation project, UnderOneRoof@trinity.
