A Sheffield trampolining group is hosting a 12 hour “bounce-a-thon” to raise money for a South Yorkshire charity. 

The University of Sheffield Trampolining Society is hosting the event to support The Snowdrop Project, a charity which helps supports and empowers victims of Modern Slavery. 

The charity was founded in 2012 and has since expanded across South Yorkshire. 

Rachael Norman, the group’s Charity Secretary, said that the group was aiming to raise £1,000, having passed a quarter of that target by lunchtime. 

The event is open to the community, with staff, students and members of the public being invited to come down and donate to the event. 

There are also raffles supporting the charity and offering a wide range of prizes. 

Miss Norman says that the event is now in it’s tenth year and this year is in Goodwin Sports Centre Sports Hall on Northumberland Road, Sheffield. 

Ella, a Competition Secretary within the group, said: “I just love to trampoline so getting to do it for twelve hours is right up my street!”
