Music festival at football stadium

-

A family fair and music festival in aid of a homeless charity comes to Maidstone’s Gallagher Stadium this spring.

It kicks off with an 11-a-side football match between police and firefighte­rs.

People are asked to raise funds for Making A Difference to Maidstone (MADM), a charity helping homeless and vulnerable people in the County Town on Saturday, April 15.

The day will include a fashion show, dance acts and live music followed by a sponsored sleepout. Amanda Sidwell, MADM founder, said: “Every night, unfortunat­ely, up to 60 vulnerable or disadvanta­ged people are sleeping rough on the streets or sofa surfing in Maidstone.

“We believe everyone should have the right to have a roof over their heads and thanks to the amazing volunteers and the Gallagher Stadium, this event is going to be a milestone in our history and help us achieve our ambitious aim to create a much needed homeless shelter in Maidstone.”
