The annual 'big sleep-in' charity event on Friday has raised over £16,000 for Northampton's Hope Centre.

The event is usually held outside but this year saw people setting up camp indoors to raise money for the hungry and homeless in Northampton.

Charity managers have said thank you to everyone who took part in this year's big sleep-in.

The charity's funding has been hit hard by the pandemic and they say the fundraising climate hasn't been easy.

The money raised from this year's big sleep-in will mean continued support for people living in poverty locally.
