Every wristband is a donation. Since 2006 the Hustle has raised £250,000 for local charities.

This year it's going to the people below, doing the hard work in Notts every other day of the year.

We’ve smashed our £20,000 target. £21,713 raised and still counting. Every wristband raises money for the charities, and you can add a bit extra when you buy.

Who you're raising for

  1. On Goose Gate since 1976. Showers, food and clothing at the day centre, a winter shelter from October to April, and outreach for tenancy and mental health support for people who are homeless or about to be.

  2. A Sneinton-based community organisation using dance, movement and participatory arts to bring people together and make creativity genuinely accessible. Their sessions welcome people of all ages and abilities – disabled and neurodivergent people, older adults, families, carers – and give people a reason to leave the house, make friends and feel part of something.

  3. A peer-led charity, going since 2014, offering culturally competent, trauma-informed support across Notts and Derbyshire: counselling, mentoring for young people, recovery services and outreach for people facing everything from domestic abuse and gambling harms to isolation and barriers to mainstream services.

  4. Kit, resources and breathing space for Nottinghamshire families whose children are living with life-limiting conditions.

  5. A free, confidential service for young carers aged 5–17 across Nottingham and the county, giving them a break, a group of mates who get it, and practical advice about caring.

  6. A Nottingham social enterprise running housing support, family and mental health support, and summer programmes for kids, with a particular focus on men, fathers and families dealing with homelessness, poverty, trauma and isolation.
