NorthCare Charity is delighted to be partnering with Oldham Athletic Community Trust at its first-ever Sleep-Out at Boundary Park, taking place on 11 April 2025.
This impactful event aims to raise awareness about homelessness in the local community and provide vital support to those in need.
Participants will spend a night under the stars at Boundary Park, experiencing the challenges faced by individuals experiencing homelessness. The event will feature guest speakers and charity representatives highlighting their crucial work. Warm beverages will be provided throughout the night.
All participants are encouraged to raise a minimum of £50 to support partner charities; EGG, Oldham Foodbank, NorthCare Charity and OACT.
Lisa Halden from NorthCare Charity comments: “The funds used will support our homeless patients and departments serving this population in Oldham. The sleepout will help NorthCare Charity and NCA to go above and beyond for homeless patients in Oldham”.
Adrian Stores states: “This is our first opportunity to run a sleep-out activity give both the opportunity to experience the challenges of homelessness and raise much-needed funds for these four notable charities that continue to do so much in and around the Borough for the local community.
"We hope people will sign up to participate in this fundraiser and to make the event as successful as possible”.
