Huddersfield Giants Community Trust and The Howarth Foundation are inviting you to spend a night sleeping rough and braving the conditions in The Chadwick Lawrence Stand of the John Smiths Stadium, in Huddersfield to help raise valuable funds and awareness to support vulnerable children and adults in the local community.

The sleepout is the first ever event in partnership, with both organisations passionate to raise as much awareness and money for great causes.

Taking place on Friday 14th October, the sleepout will be held overnight to provide a powerful insight into a one-off experience of what it is like to spend a night outdoors.

For this event we encourage businesses, business leaders (who may be looking at a Corporate Social Responsibility opportunity), families (including children), individuals, supporters, colleagues and others to take part.

With participants, we ask you to fundraise a minimum of £100 for individuals (includes children) and £250 for businesses which will be shared equally between Huddersfield Giants Community Trust and The Howarth Foundation.

The Howarth Foundation works with local third sector organisations to support individuals who are vulnerable on the streets to provide work packages, to make the transition back into employment more accessible for the individual. One back to work package costs a minimum of £500, which includes food parcels, clothing and travel.

HGCT uses the power of sport, working with local stakeholders to create opportunities for disadvantaged children in the school holidays by providing mainstream sports and food packages to keep them active, healthy and engaged.

Together, we will create opportunities, tackling poverty and changing lives to support individuals in our local community!
