College is boxing clever as sponsors of Sleepout

BSDC NAMED AS HEADLINE SPONSOR OF YMCA'S BIGGEST FUNDRAISER

- By JOSEPH RICHARDS

A HEADLINE sponsor has been announced for YMCA Burton's annual fundraising Sleepout event.

Burton and South Derbyshire College (BSDC) has supported and worked in collaboration with YMCA Burton for many years, and will now be the headline sponsors for the event on November 7.

The Sleepout, which is in its 17th year, is being held at Burton Albion’s Pirelli Stadium and the XTREME event at St Modwen’s church graveyard.

Sleepout is a chance to spend the night outdoors to raise awareness and fundraise for YMCA Burton, who operate homeless outreach facilities, housing, foodbank, affordable furniture through their shops, and mediation and counselling services in the East Staffordshire borough area.
