Chris Williams, Commercial Manager at Nottingham Express Transit, is showing NET’s support for some of the most vulnerable people in the communities it serves by joining volunteers and supporters of the charity Framework for a “Big Sleep Out” at Nottingham Racecourse on Saturday 15th October.
As well as taking part in the challenge, Chris will also be judging a competition to find the best temporary shelter at the event. There will also be live entertainment and other activities taking place.
Chris said: “NET has championed the organisation for a number of years and the Big Sleep Out is always one of their main events, so we were keen to get involved. In the run up to event we’ve donated several thousand pounds worth of free advertising to help promote the fundraiser, and you might have seen the eye-catching tram ‘wrap’ that’s been turning heads across the city!”
Framework was founded in 2001 after the merger of two Nottingham based charities and currently houses up to 1,224 people at any one time. It also provides wide-ranging support services to help people stay in the accommodation. Details of the “Big Sleep Out” are available online at https://www.frameworkha.org/sleepout.
