MACS Sleep Out 2025

The MACS Sleep Out returns this year at Banana Block, Belfast, on Thursday 4th December, as part of Homelessness Awareness Week.

Each year, we invite people from across Northern Ireland to swap their bed for a sleeping bag and spend one night at Banana Block in solidarity with young people who have no safe place to call home.

The event raises vital funds and awareness for the thousands of young people affected by homelessness, while supporting MACS’ work to provide housing, wellbeing and life-changing support services.

This year’s Sleep Out will feature live music from Emer Maguire, drumming and rhythm from Joe at The Gathering Drum , and comedy from Dave Elliott and friends, creating a night of community, connection and purpose.

Funds raised go directly towards helping young people aged 16–25 who are homeless, leaving care, or at risk of losing their home, giving them the stability and support they need to move forward with their lives.

Join us for one night that makes a lasting difference.
