Imogen’s 30 Nights in a Tent Challenge in heatwave raises funds for Wellingborough homeless charity
A teenager has successfully completed 30 days living in a tent to help raise vital funds for the Daylight Centre.
The task seemed simple, but soaring temperatures meant the month-long effort had to be completed in conditions sometimes exceeding 30C.
While this is the second time Imogen has completed the challenge, having successfully lasted the distance in 2024 during cold, wet, and windy weather, 2026 presented its own share of problems.
Having exceeded her fundraising target that year, she returned in 2026 determined to raise even more for the charity.
A spokesperson for the Daylight Centre said: “We are incredibly grateful to Imogen for once again taking on this challenge in support of the Daylight Centre.
“Sleeping in a tent for 30 consecutive nights is no small feat, whatever the weather, and this year’s high temperatures made it particularly demanding.
“Imogen’s determination, generosity and community spirit have been truly inspiring, and every pound she has raised will help us continue supporting local people experiencing homelessness, poverty and social exclusion.”
Imogen has raised £237.50, eclipsing her target of £200, which will help go towards helping the charity to provide practical support, advice and essential services to people facing homelessness, poverty and social exclusion in north Northamptonshire.
Imogen’s fundraiser remains open, and can be found online here.
