Nottingham's charity music festival Beat the Streets has won a top award. It scooped a national UK Festival Awards title for making the greatest community impact.
Since launching in 2018, the festival has donated £320,000 to Framework, a charity working to support rough sleepers. Beat the Streets received the Sarah Nulty Community Impact Award at a ceremony this month for its vital work to support the homeless in Nottingham.
Beat the Streets is organised by DHP Family, whose managing director George Akins said: “I’m really proud of what we have accomplished so far. Going into this winter, what Beat the Streets provides is needed more than ever and we hope to build on this success to enable us to help Framework support rough sleepers for as long as we can.”
