Despite the awful conditions that Storm Gertrude brought to the County Ground on Friday night, a brave 137 volunteers experienced sleeping rough for the night and their efforts raised a whopping £32,000. All this money goes to the Hope Centre who support the homeless and vulnerable in Northampton and rely on this Big Sleepout annually as a huge source of income.
Volunteers arrived from all walks of life arrived to pitch up their cardboard shelters in the cold and drizzle. They were joined by Steven Crook, Rob Keogh, Ben Duckett and Josh Cobb who came long to support their amazing efforts.
