Stoke City FC sleep-out to raise money for homelessness

Almost 200 people are expected to take part in a charity football sleep-out raising money for homelessness.

The Big Sleep Out 23 is run by Stoke City Community Trust and is raising money for The Macari Centre, set up by former footballer and Stoke City manager Lou Macari.

The centre in Hanley provides glamping-style pods for rough sleepers.

Chloe, 19, who had been on the streets, said the centre had been her "last hope".
