Story

Wakefield Trinity Community Foundation has teamed up with Wakefield Street Kitchen & Helping the Homeless Wakefield to host 'Trinity Under the Stars.'

According to Government statistics, 146 households between October and December were found to be homeless in Wakefield as of last year, which is a rise from 92 in 2019 in the same period.

However, using the brand of Wakefield Trinity and working with local companies situated across the district, we would like to raise awareness of these issues as we organise 'Trinity Under the Stars.'

The event invites participants to spend a night in the Be Well Support Stadium, pitting their wits against the cold weather to see how the homeless actually spend their days.

Starting at 7pm on Friday, 11th November 2022, we will be inviting guest speakers (both first-team and past players) and organising group quizzes, whilst enjoying soup and sandwiches courtesy of Morrisons before sleeping in the cold concourses of Belle Vue Stadium.

All money raised will go towards both the Foundation to support the continuation of our projects as we aim to benefit the lives of those from five all the way to 95, with a percentage being put towards Helping the Homeless Wakefield and their bid to help get people off the street.

Sponsorship is set at £100 per person, with a prize being awarded to the person who raises the most before the evening.

We thank you for your continued support.
