West Ham United

This February West Ham United are encouraging our supporters to join our team and take part in February on the Floor. 

We are supporting local East London based charity, Stand by Me, who rescue kids from extreme circumstances around the world. 

The challenge is to sleep on the floor at your home for a weekend of your choice in February, get sponsored to do so by friends, family and colleagues through a personalised fundraising page, all with the aim to help change thousands of kids' lives around the world.

The challenge is open to any age and any fitness and you can do it as an individual, as a family with your children or as part of a group whether from your school, sports team or company. You can decide how difficult you want to make it. Will you sleep on carpet, under a blanket or in a sleeping bag?

There are families around the world who spend every night sleeping on the floor, children who wake up hungry with their parents unable to provide breakfast and kids in tattered uniforms without school resources and so we're asking you to take on the February on the Floor challenge so that we can improve their sleeping conditions and provide them with all they need to start their day prepared for school.

A weekend of uncomfortable sleep will be completely worth it as every £281 raised from being sponsored can help children pursue their dreams, providing beds, uniforms, school bags and breakfasts so that Stand by Me children can have the best start to their school day!  

To confirm this challenge is right for you please read the advice in the email you will receive once you have signed up!

Thank you

Stand by Me rescues kids from extreme circumstances, then provides the care, love and attention they need to thrive. We care for over 3,800 kids across the world, from Myanmar to Colombia to Ethiopia. No two are the same, some are orphaned, some abandoned, some abused or living in extreme poverty, so we take care to meet each of their individual needs from food and healthcare, to loving parents and quality education, enabling them to reach their potential, stand on their own two feet and become who they were created to be.

February on the Floor is a fundraising event designed to make a significant difference to the lives of our amazing Stand by Me children. We ask people to sleep on the floor for a weekend of their choice in February and raise money to help provide families with uniforms, school bags, breakfast and beds to enable them to pursue their dreams.
