Rain-soaked St Mirren fans raise over £7k to help homeless at sleep-out event

Members of the Black and White Army have raised in excess of £7,000 to help combat homelessness after enduring torrential rain in a St Mirren sleep out.

Twenty people, including St Mirren chairman John Needham and women’s manager Kate Cooper, slept pitchside at the SMiSA stadium last Friday night in a bid to raise awareness of the plight of homeless people.

The sponsored event has so far raised more than £7k which will be split between Shelter Scotland and in-house charity, the St Mirren FC Charitable Foundation.
