A spokesperson from Helping Hands said: We have the Wasps Rugby players supporting and joining us for the event, and we would love more people to sign up to the challenge.
“It’s a bit different this year, in that it’s at a secret location in the town and we won’t reveal where it is until the day to add to the reality of not knowing where you’ll sleep if you’re homeless.”
Registration for the event costs £25 plus £2.14 in booking fees, which includes an evening meal, breakfast and a Helping Hands hat.
