Nightstop<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div><strong>Depaul UK today (Tuesday, 16 June 2020) launches the #SleepBedless viral campaign \u2013 asking the public to sleep without beds for a night to raise awareness of hidden homelessness and fundraise to help cover the charity\u2019s coronavirus crisis costs.<\/strong><\/div>\n<div>&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>The crisis has been devastating for young people experiencing homelessness or at risk of becoming homeless, with Covid-19 making their lives even more precarious, moving from place to place and sleeping on sofas or with strangers in unsafe situations.<\/div>\n<div>&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>Depaul\u2019s research has shown that more than half (55 percent) of young people in hidden homelessness have suffered some form of harm, such as mental or emotional abuse (29 percent), physical assault or abuse (28 percent), being pressurised into drinking alcohol or taking drugs (25 percent), being sexually abused or exploited (12 percent) or having their property stolen (36 percent).<\/div>\n<div>&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>Kevin Clements, Depaul UK\u2019s Executive Director of Fundraising &amp; Communications, said: \u201cOur services, including our emergency accommodation network Nightstop, give young people the alternative to hidden homelessness that they so desperately need.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>Dave Monk, Publicis\u2022Poke Executive Creative Director, said: \u201cWe mustn\u2019t forget the most vulnerable through this coronavirus crisis. #SleepBedless is a way for the public to take action, raise funds for Depaul and do genuine good at a time of most need.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>The #SleepBedless campaign asks people to do three simple actions:<\/div>\n<div>&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>\u2022<span
