Around 150 people are preparing to sleep rough as part of Nottingham's Big Sleep Out this weekend. Homelessness charity Framework will host the 21st annual event at Nottingham Racecourse on Saturday night (October 15).
It said people could still sign up to the sleep out, which hopes to raise £60,000 and will be livestreamed for the first time. Event fundraiser Natalie Dickson, who is organising the sleep out, said people could also take part virtually.
“The Big Sleep Out appeals to people of all ages who want to do something worthwhile for a good cause – in this case supporting our work tackling homelessness and helping to get people off the streets," she said. "It attracts individuals, groups of friends, families, community groups and groups representing local businesses.
