Plans are already under way for the 20th BIG SleepOut that raises funds for St Basil’s, the charity that support young people facing homelessness.

Yet again the sleep out, this year on the evening of Friday, December 4, will be at the car park of St Basils in Digbeth with a target of £35,000.

Registrations can be made through the St Basil’s website at www.stbasils.org.uk for the event, which organisers are promising will be ‘the biggest ever’.

Businesses are already pledging their support including Jaffabox, that supplies the much-coveted cardboard boxes that give cover for the fundraisers.

Other supporting companies include Beaucrest, Speedy, Smurfit Kappa, Tony Hicks Skip Hire, FirstMile, St Ives Chambers, Badgers, Maidments, Rowchester Chambers.
