2016 executives from across the North West are joining together at
Lancashire County Cricket Club to help fight poverty and homelessness in Manchester.
They will all give up a night of comfort to sleep out on the pitch and in the stands at Emirates Old Trafford to help raise funds for projects in Manchester and also to raise awareness of a growing problem in the city.
CEO Sleepout Manchester is being organised by the LCCC Foundation in partnership with national charity CEO Sleepout UK and will build on the huge success of CEO Sleepout UK’s recent London event at The Oval when £170,000 was raised for charities which fight the effects and causes of homelessness.
The event will start at 8pm and finishes the following morning at Emirates Old Trafford, the home of Lancashire County Cricket Club.
CEO Sleepout UK is a new and lean charity which has already worked with partners to hold events at prestigious venues like Wembley Stadium, Cardiff Castle and St James' Park Newcastle.
Around 500 executives have taken part in the sleepouts and together have raised over £680,000 to fight homelessness and poverty in the UK.
