Cardboard City in Stroud

The date and full details of the Cardboard City event will be available from Monday 3rd February. More later ….

Marah Trust is proud to announce the return of our Cardboard City fundraising event.

We are looking for kind and hardy people to sleep outdoors with us in the grounds of St. Lawrence Church and to ask others to sponsor them to do so.

As well as raising funds and support for our charity, our aim is to highlight the issue of homelessness in our area and the difficulties that vulnerable and socially excluded people experience in their lives.

If you are interested in supporting us with this event and are prepared to experience a night sleeping out in the open, we would love to hear from you.

The weather could be bad on the night and sleeping outside could be a challenge. We ask therefore that participants have a reasonable level of health and fitness.

Marah is Christian charity and the event will have a Christian feel to it – including an all-night prayer vigil at St. Matthews and other local churches. We welcome people and groups of all faiths and none and hope you can join us to make the event a success once again.

We invite those who are unable to sleep out to sponsor someone who can, or to support the event in other ways.
