Slough Town recently partnered with Slough Homeless Our Concern (SHOC) and Trinity to host a Big Sleepout at Arbour Park.
A dedicated group of 40 people braved the elements and slept on the concrete concourse to raise £15,000 for Slough’s homeless population.
The evening began with live music, entertaining games and a variety of food and drink vendors, creating a vibrant atmosphere for more than 120 attendees.
Forty of them then slept out at the club overnight to raise thousands for this vital cause.
Among them was Slough Town’s very own club secretary, Kay Lathey who raised an impressive £810, while seven members of the Man vs Fat XI contributed £2,260 collectively.
A statement from the club said: “A massive thank you goes out to everyone who participated, supported, or helped organize this fantastic event. Special recognition goes to our bar manager, Stuart Adnitt, for his outstanding efforts in making it all happen.
“Well done to everyone involved!”
Slough Town have also announced they’re expanding both the boys and girl’s junior academy programmes in 2025.
The club is set to recruit more coaches to aid growth. Contact ashley.smith@sloughtownfc.net
