Over 150 hardy fundraisers braved the worst conditions yet for the Molineux Sleepout by taking on the challenge to support some of the most vulnerable people across the city.
This year’s event, the fifth in total, saw participants sleeping in the Stan Cullis Stand during a bitterly cold night which included a howling wind and regular heavy downpours.
Their fantastic efforts have now seen the fundraising total break through the £50,000 barrier in sight of the overall aim of £60,000 which would be the highest amount raised so far.
All funds are shared between the Wolves Foundation and Good Shepherd (GS), supporting people experiencing homelessness and poverty across Wolverhampton.
Our latest podcast features the work of Chris Allen from our media partners Wolves Community Radio (WCR). In the podcast Chris chats to Kieron Ansell from the Wolves Foundation, Chris and Donna from the Good Shepherd, participant Summer and her dad Stephen, Tom Hayden CEO of the Good Shepherd, Wolves Foundation Chair Kevin Rogers, Council Leader Stephen Simkins and Cllr Dr Michael Hardacre, Mayor of the City of Wolverhampton. Finally, we hear from studio guest Daniel William after it was all over.
