Stoke City Community Trust are delighted to confirm that its hugely popular Big Sleep Out will take place once again in 2024.

Next years event will be staged at the bet365 Stadium on Friday, February 23, and sponsored for a third consecutive year by Tile Mountain.

The charitable initiative encourages supporters and the wider community to help raise awareness of homelessness within the city and its surrounding areas.

Participants get first-hand experience of what its like to brave the elements overnight as they bed down inside and outside the Franklyn Stand concourse, all whilst raising much-needed funds for local charities.

The charities who will benefit in 2024 are The Macari Centre and Stoke City Community Trust.

You must be 11 and over to attend, however, if you are under 18, you must be accompanied by an adult/guardian and have parental permission to attend.

Supporters are encouraged to raise at least £100, with a deposit of £20 contributing towards the donation.
