For the second year in a row, Blackburn Rovers Community Trust will be working in collaboration with Nightsafe to host ‘The Big Sleep Out’ at Ewood Park on Friday 17th November.

This year, the Mayor of Blackburn with Darwen, Councillor Parwaiz Akhtar, will be participating in the 2023 Big Sleep Out, with the aim to raise awareness and highlight the important issues surrounding homelessness in the local area.

Participants will spend one night sleeping outside in the Riverside Stand at Ewood Park, and supporters, community organisations and local businesses are all encouraged to show their support and experience the difficulties homeless people go through each night.

The Riverside Stand will be open from 7pm on Friday 17th November until 7am on Saturday 18th November. The age category to take part is 18 and over.

Participants or anyone who chooses to donate will be raising money for both Nightsafe and Blackburn Rovers Community Trust, to help support the important work both charities to help many people within our community.
