Story

The Albion Foundation Sleep Out 2023

The Albion Foundation Sleep Out is back for 2023!

We are all too aware of how challenging recent times have become. As a community, there are still those less fortunate sleeping rough. On Friday, March 24th we invite supporters to experience spending a night under the stars in the stands and concourse of the Hawthorns

You will spend the night in the Smethwick End, where we expect there to be great camaraderie and a few hot drinks! There will be entertainment throughout the evening before we all settle down for the night. We are also expecting a number of WBA former players to be joining us throughout the evening.

Registration costs £15 Adults and £10 Children (Age 10 - 17), and you will need to raise a minimum of £25 in sponsorship with all proceeds going to The Albion Foundation and homelessness charities across Sandwell.

Jonathan Ward, Head of Partnerships, Events & Communications at The Albion Foundation said: "The sleep out is going to be a really important event in helping raise awareness of the homeless and vulnerable within our local community.

"This is just the start of a longer-term project between The Albion Foundation, West Bromwich Albion Football Club, Sandwell Council and the Change into Action Network. We encourage everyone to support the Sleep Out and join us in raising funds for this important cause."

(If you are taking part as a family, please email events@albionfoundation.co.uk to discuss your fundraising amounts)

There will be plenty of camaraderie and entertainment throughout the evening, with hot drinks on offer throughout the night. We look forward to welcoming you to The Hawthorns!

ATTENDEES AGED 10-17 YEARS OLD MUST BE ACCOMPANIED BY AN ADULT.
