The Friary Drop-In Centre is a charity in West Bridgford that empowers homeless and vulnerable adults in the local community.

They do this by offering practical services, confidential advice and emotional support. They cater for the needs of the most vulnerable in our society and advocate for those without a voice.

Through providing hot meals, showers, clean clothes and toiletries to those who need it most, they are supporting those who need it most. This can only be achieved through donations and fundraising.

By sleeping out for one night, you will be directly impacting those who are most vulnerable in the Rushcliffe community. One night of discomfort for you means more comfort for someone who is sleeping rough every night.

Trent Bridge Community Trust delivers projects that have a profound and meaningful impact on communities across our county.

This impact is highlighted by statistics, but equally by the personal stories of young people who have prospered having been given the one thing they need, a sporting chance.
