Fulham FC Foundation has announced the return of its annual Craven Cottage Stadium Sleepout, inviting supporters, local residents and community fundraisers to spend a night at the historic ground in support of people experiencing homelessness across South-West London.
The 2026 Sleepout will take place on Friday 13 November at Craven Cottage, following last year’s event that brought together hundreds of participants and raised more than £35,000 for homelessness prevention services.
This year’s Sleepout will support Barons Court Project, Hammersmith & Fulham’s only dedicated day centre for people experiencing homelessness and those living with mental health challenges. Now marking its 40th year, the charity provides practical support, wellbeing services, advice and a safe community space for vulnerable people rebuilding their lives.
Participants in the 2026 Sleepout will swap the comfort of their beds for sleeping bags on the Putney Stand concourse, standing in solidarity with those who face the reality of rough sleeping. Each participant is asked to raise a minimum of £350, with registration set at £40. The event is open to anyone aged 18 or over.
Last year’s Sleepout demonstrated the power of collective action. Fundraisers described a night filled with camaraderie, reflection and a shared commitment to tackling homelessness. Their efforts helped fund outreach work, accommodation support and preventative programmes delivered in partnership with homelessness charity SPEAR.
Fulham FC Foundation hopes to build on that momentum in 2026, bringing together supporters, local residents, businesses and anyone seeking a meaningful challenge that makes a tangible difference.
“Whether you’re a lifelong Fulham supporter, a neighbour from the local community or someone looking to take on a powerful and purposeful experience, the Stadium Sleepout is a chance to come together and support people who need us,” the Foundation said.
With homelessness continuing to affect individuals and families across London, the Foundation hopes this year’s Sleepout will be its biggest yet.
