Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
I have been asked to take part in a CEO Sleep Out 10 days before Christmas in Charlotte Square, Edinburgh. It will be cold and it will be challenging but nothing compared to what Edinburgh's homeless community endure night after night in the bitter winter months.
Social Bite is best known for its 5 sandwich shops situated throughout Scotland which employ people who were formally homeless and all profits go to good causes. But it also has a new ambition, to build a Social Bite village out of old shipping containers putting roofs over peoples heads and creating a supportive environment around them. This will make Social Bite 'a full service homeless solution, spanning from housing to employment and everything in between'.
Social Bite was founded by Josh Littlejohn who I first met two years ago in relation to the Scottish Business Awards which are hosted every year at the EICC. Josh started the awards in 2011 and in November last year George Clooney not only spoke at the awards but also visited their Rose Street Edinburgh branch. This year Leonardo will hopefully do the same!
Please give what you can, I would be most grateful.
Many thanks,
Marshall.
