Players and staff of Sheffield United are encouraging supporters to take part in the first ever sponsored sleepout at Bramall Lane. The Blades are partnering with local charities Roundabout and St. Wilfrid's Centre to host the event which will see participants experience sleeping rough for one night to raise vital funds for both local charities. 

Participants will be encouraged to bring cardboard and sleeping bags to spend the night with. The event will see presentations from both charities and special guests and entertainment will follow until lights out at 11pm, where participants will sleep in designated areas around the pitch and concourse before the event finishes at 7am the following morning.

Roundabout provides assistance to more than 150 homeless young people in Sheffield aged 16-25 every day. The charity provides shelter, support and life skills and offers advice and family mediation for those at risk of losing their home. St. Wilfrid's Centre, located on Queens road, support homeless, vulnerable and socially excluded adults in Sheffield, providing essential welfare services including food and clothing, together with personal development activities to develop life, social and employability skills.
