Sunderland turned a usually quiet corner of the Stadium of Light into a temporary shelter for homeless people on Friday.
Acutely conscious that the north-east remains one of the areas worst affected by the extreme weather, club staff have created a special “warm room” in the ground’s south-west corner. It can accommodate up to 12 people and is open to all.
The warm room will offer a steady supply of hot food and drink as well as places to sleep overnight. Pets are also welcome.
With the forecast indicating little sign of a swift end to the freeze, the facility will remain open, and staffed by at least one steward, until 9am on Monday morning. Depending on the conditions, it is possible the arrangement could be extended.
Anyone wishing to make donations of food or clothing for local homeless people is asked to bring them to the main reception area at the Stadium of Light which will be open between 9am and 5pm on Saturday and Sunday.
