Metallica Donates £40,000 to Help the Homeless Charity
Metallica, a headline act at the Download festival, donated £40,000 to Help the Homeless, a charity that helps rough sleepers in Leicester.
The donation was made by Metallica's charitable foundation, All Within My Hands.
The money will be used to help "those most at risk" and will also be used to cover the day-to-day running costs of the charity.
Help the Homeless founder Arif Voraji stated that the donation came at a perfect time as the charity had seen a massive drop in donations from the public and corporations, but an increase in demand for their services.
