Nottingham’s Beat The Streets has raised more than £50,000 for the charity Framework, an organisation dedicated to helping rough sleepers across the city.
This brings the festival’s total fundraising to £604,155 since it was launched by DHP Family in 2018, the festival adds.
The festival says that “every ticket, merch sale, tombola and drink bought has gone towards the completion of brand new high quality homes in Basford for rough sleepers with round the clock support.”
This year’s edition saw more than 50 artists, bands and poets perform across city centre venues on 26 January.
A golden ticket prize to a year of Rock City shows added an extra £1000 to the fundraising total, while DHP supported the volunteering initiative Rock Corps alongside a Rock City show featuring Tinie Tempah and JayaHadaDream.
Claire McGonigle, Framework CEO, said: “It’s fantastic to see Beat the Streets achieve another successful year. We’re incredibly grateful to DHP, the staff who give their time, and the artists who share their talent to make the festival possible. Framework’s partnership with DHP is not only a creative and meaningful way to raise vital funds and amplify our message, but a powerful example of what can be achieved when people come together with kindness and compassion.“
George Akins, DHP MD, said: “We are all really proud here to stage such an important event for our city, raising money for a vital cause that we care deeply about. Passing the £600k milestone in 2026 is brilliant and we’re already looking forward to next year.”
Beat The Streets 2027 will take place on Sunday 31 January. Tickets are on sale now.
