Hundreds of young people and communities are at risk of homelessness and poverty in Derby and Derbyshire.

Mitre Lower Sixth are raising money for YMCA Derbyshire and Padley @ YMCA Derbyshire by sleeping rough for one night at the Incora County Ground to raise funds for the vital services they provide. This is Mitre's sixth year supporting this cause and we would be grateful for your help as we prepare to spend a night under cardboard on a chilly March night, while thinking of those who don't have a safe place to live night after night.

Funds raised will help young people live independently and support them in their pursuits to enter higher education, gain apprenticeships and secure job opportunities. Last year YMCA Derbyshire housed 272 people within 12 months, all of whom received funds from this initiative to help transform their lives.

Please share the message and donate if you feel able.

A massive thank you from Mitre Lower-sixth
