YMCA Burton 's Sleepout raises £29,000
Burton YMCA have raised £29,238 this year for their annual Sleepout.
The event, now on its 13th year, was the YMCA 's first in-person fundraiser since 2019.
Over 100 Participants took part by sleeping at Burton Albions Pirelli Stadium, or virtually from their homes, gardens and in one case, a goat pen!
The incredible total raised will go towards keeping the essential services running at YMCA Burton.
Fundraising officer, Paula Senior, said:
“We were thrilled this year 's event went ahead and it was quite emotional seeing people come through the gates of Pirelli once again.
"We are humbled by the support received for our 13th Sleepout and would like to thank everyone who gave up their bed for the night, donated, shared our story and supported us in some way to reach the outstanding amount raised. We couldn 't do this without you ”.
