Sheffield is ready for a big race this Sunday. It is a soapbox derby for charity. There are 40 teams in the race.
They use carts with no engines. The carts go down a hill. They only use gravity to move.
This year, the race helps a charity called Roundabout. This group helps young people without homes in Sheffield. They help 400 people every day.
They give them a safe place to sleep. Students from UTC Sheffield built a special cart. A radio presenter named Ellie Colton will drive it.
Building the cart was not easy. At first, the steering wheel did not move. Also, Ellie could not reach the brakes.
The team fixed these problems now. The cart is safe for the race. The event starts at 10:45 in the morning.
People can see the carts near the Town Hall. There is a pit area for visitors. You can meet the teams there.
Roundabout is happy about the event. The city will love the fun energy. The race will raise money for young people.
This money helps them have a better future. People will enjoy the strange cart designs. The carts might be slow or fast.
It does not matter. They are racing to help others. This is a great day for the community.
