Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

We're Tom and Ben, two best mates who have reaped the benefits of The Aston Villa Foundation's incredible work over the last year.

Having both taken part in the Foundation's Fit Villa and Teamwork programmes, we've significantly improved our health and wellbeing. The Foundation has also made an impact on Tom's son, with the Saturday morning 'Football In The Community' sessions helping to develop Frank's love of football and (more importantly!) the Villa.

Having gained so much from the Foundation this year, we've decided it's time to give something back, so we're proudly taking part in this year's Big Villa Sleep Out.

On October 13th, we'll be swapping home comforts to spend the night sleeping on the concrete concourse of Villa Park's Trinity Road Stand. All proceeds made from the event will be donated to help provide food to young people in need in Birmingham and the surrounding areas.

Poverty and homelessness is sadly on the rise amid the ever-increasing cost of living, and we're looking forward to making this smallest of contributions to help those in our communities who are most in need.

Please give generously if you can to support this fantastic cause.

Thank you - and Up The Villa!
