On Friday 11th December, I'm sleeping out at the Pallet-Track Bescot Stadium and braving the cold to raise much needed funds for two fantastic charities.

We will support local foodbanks during the busy Christmas period, with cost of living and energy prices hitting families the hardest during Winter months. More people in our community rely on these services who require increased support and donations this time of year.

The event will also support Walsall FC Foundation, the football club's official charity, who deliver vital projects across Walsall in Education, Sport, Engagement and Health initiatives. From activities such as primary school workshops and intervention sessions with young people, to mental and physical health sessions with older adults, the Foundation does a huge amount for local people.
