Sleeping under the stars to raise money
MONEY WILL BE RAISED FOR DOVE HOUSE HOSPICE AND THE HULL KR FOUNDATION
HULL Kingston Rovers are to host a charity sleep-out involving local business leaders, raising money for Dove House Hospice and the Hull KR Foundation.
The rough sleeping will take part in the concrete stands of Craven Park as part of the Big Hull and East Yorkshire Sleepout 2024. All the money raised will stay in Hull and East Yorkshire, and split 50-50 between the two charities.
Paul Hamnett, Chief Executive of Hull KR Foundation said: “As a charity, we need to constantly fundraise to deliver our mission and all money raised will be received gratefully. Engaging with businesses across Hull will help us bring the challenges seen by communities across Hull and East Riding to the forefront.
“Challenges are faced by our communities daily and our work provides opportunities to improve their lives.
Since 2007 we have delivered to thousands of people in the Hull area to support their lives. Our work includes programmes to support education, employment, health and making positive choices.”
Chris Sadler, chief executive at Dove House Hospice said: “The support from regional business leaders helps us to continue our vital work to look after local people during some of the most difficult times of their lives. In this area, we are incredibly fortunate to have businesses committed to their community. Without initiatives like this, the hospice would simply not be able to provide care and support to those who need it most.”
Those taking part are being asked to raise a minimum of £500 and to also sign up a peer to take part too. If you would like to take part in the Big Hull and East Yorkshire Sleep Out 2024, please visit https://hullkr.co.uk/bighull-and-east-yorkshire-sleepout-2024 to sign up.
