More than 120 people slept under the stars in Mansfield on Friday night as they raised around £20,000 support homeless people in the town.
The hardy volunteers were taking part in Framework’s 12th annual Big Snore sleep out – the second to be held at Mansfield Town FC’s One Call Stadium.
Participants, who each raised sponsorship money before taking part in the event, were raising money for Framework’s Mansfield Appeal, which funds vital resettlement work with former rough sleepers – helping them into homes of their own.
