As part of our commitment to support the charity, the Trust will be taking part in their annual 'Byte Night' event.
In brief this event is where businesses throughout the North West raise sponsorship by spending the night out on the streets of Manchester, to understand what it feels like to be homeless for the night. For more information in detail of what Byte Night is please visit the link below.
We have 5 teams of 5 people, all staff that work for the Trust that are prepared to swap their warm, comfy beds for the cold, hard concrete. They need to raise £12,500, so they desparately need your help! All money raised will go towards helping homeless people, something that is really important to all of the people that work for the Trust. Although this is a sacrifice to everybody for one night, it is a fantastic way of them giving something back and your help is much appreciated in helping to achieve this.
