Nottingham's Beat the Streets is returning to the city centre once again this year in order to raise money for homelessness prevention charity Framework in support of the work they do. The festival takes place in various venues on January 29.
The festival is now in its fifth year and it has raised more than £320,000. The festival’s fundraising has enabled Framework to carry out vital work including taking on mental health workers to support rough sleepers with complex needs, enabling its emergency winter shelter to stay open all year round taking vulnerable rough sleepers off the streets and helping to open Mechanics House, which provides accommodation and resettlement support.
. Performances over the years have included some of Nottingham's best bands such as Cucumaras and 94 Gunships
