The Big Worcester Sleep Out is back and we’re kicking things off with our first fundraiser, ‘The Big Worcester Quiz’ on Thursday 19th September at Henry Sanden Hall, with support from The Bransford Trust, to raise some funds for the main Sleep Out event next year.
Over 125 people have purchased their ticket already, and all of the proceeds will go to us, St Paul’s Hostel, and The Worcester Warriors Foundation.
The Big Worcester Sleep Out group was established to highlight homelessness issues, challenge public perceptions, and work towards changing the lives of vulnerable members of the community.
The beneficiaries provide a range of support, including accommodation, one-to-one support, peer mentoring, access to health, training, development, and employment services. They also help with life skills to sustain tenancies, offer physical and mental health support, and provide rehabilitation.
The quiz was introduced to reach a wider audience beyond the annual sleep-out attendees, who may not be able to come to the sleep out but still want to show their support.
Our Marketing and relations manager, Melissa explains: “The Maggs team are delighted to be a part of The Big Sleep Out events again this year.
“Not only do we get to work with some other fantastic local charities, but we get to raise awareness on homelessness and the issues they endure whilst sleeping rough, but also what we as a charity do to support the individuals.”
“We’re looking forward to the event to, of course raise some much-needed funds but to have fun with family, friends, stakeholders and partnering agencies outside of work!”
Tickets for the quiz are still available at £5 per person and we’re encouraging you to gather your friends and colleagues, come up with creative team names, and join the event on Thursday, September 19.
