We have local business leaders who have been charged with outrageous fictitious crimes and are now in cuffs behind bars.

Our courageous 'jail birds' have been charged with crimes such as: caught on camera at Nottingham’s Day Fever, when we should have been at a STEP conference” and “using the ladies shower facilities in the office” Representing organisations including Experian, A W Lymns, Acton Solicitors, Aderans Trendco, Collective Inspiration, NFU Mutual North Notts, Eurocell, the criminals have stood before our Judge and been found guilty.

Bail has been set at £1,000 and now the criminals have been sent down to contemplate their crimes and go about raising funds to pay their bail. Having traded in their freedom for Maggie's the challenge they face is to muster all their powers of persuasion and call on the collective goodwill of their networks to raise funds for Maggie's Nottingham. Their freedom and reputation depend on it!

Jail or Bail is set to be fun for everyone involved, but let's not forget the important reason behind the event: to raise funds for Maggie's Nottingham. For many people living in the East Midlands, Maggie's Nottingham is a beacon of hope, offering a unique programme of practical and psychological support, available free of charge to people with cancer and everyone they love.

Maggie’s centres are places where people with cancer find the hope, determination, and resources they need to cope with one of the toughest challenges any of us is likely to have to face. Maggie’s Nottingham is one of 24 Maggie's Centres across the UK providing support to anyone impacted by cancer.

The prisoners have until 3pm on Friday 21st March to fundraise their way to freedom using their mobile phones, laptops and social media channels. Please note the pages will remain open for a short period after the event.

To help raise bail (make a donation) in support of your favourite convict, please visit their fundraising page - see 'Fundraisers', on RHS of this page.

Thank you for supporting Jail or Bail, your kindness and generosity will make an incredible difference to people with cancer.
