On Friday 27 November 2026, I will be taking part in the Big Blue Nose Day Sleepout 2026, spending a night outside, in the stadium bowl, looking out on to the famous St. Andrew's @ Knighthead Park pitch. This special 'Sleep Out' event is more than a memorable experience; it is a powerful way to stand alongside local people and help protect vital community support.

All funds raised from the sleep out will go directly to the BCFC Foundation's Community Hub, which sits just behind the Gil Merrick stand and provides free-to-access support for around 2,000 people every month. From youth clubs and homework clubs to food pantries, employability sessions and social inclusion coffee mornings for older residents, the Hub offers practical help, connection and hope to people in the neighbourhood around St. Andrew's @ Knighthead Park.

This support is needed now more than ever. The Community Hub is only able to operate because of funds raised by the Foundation.

I'm asking you to help keep the Community Hub alive. By supporting the Big Blue Nose Day Sleepout 2026, or by helping raise my personal target of £1,000,. You can make a real difference for children, families and older people in our community. Please donate, share, and stand with us to ensure these much-needed services continue for those who depend on them.
