This year Social Bite are inviting 9,000 people to Sleep Out on a cold December night to help end homelessness in Scotland. Social Bite have given themselves an ambitious timeframe of only 5 years to solve this pressing Social Issue. And we in FBS Edinburgh have given ourselves an ambitious (but achievable with your kind sponsors/donations) timeframe to raise a minimum of £9,000 by Friday 8th December. To read more about Social Bites effort to eradicate homelessness in Scotland please see this link http://social-bite.co.uk/
We’re taking part in this event and would love the support from all you lovely people to raise this amount through sponsorship/donation. As we all work together, we are lucky enough to have The Bank of Scotland Foundation match our fundraising/sponsorship/donations up to a total of £500 per person within our 15-strong Sleep Out team.
This is the world’s largest ever Sleep Out. With busking from LIAM GALLAGHER, Amy McDonald, Deacon Blue & Frightened Rabbit. Plus a bedtime story from John Cleese. Sir Bob Geldof will also be joining us in the Sleep Out, with hosting & breakfast rolls from Rob Brydon & Scottish Government Ministers.
We will post/share updates on how we’re doing between now & 9th December & you can be sure there’ll probably be a few Facebook Lives on the night ;) - & with any luck we’ll try sweet talk a celebrity to join us in our Facebook Live – so please follow our progress throughout the coming weeks & on the night itself.

Thank you all for supporting us in this quest & wish us lots of luck (& warmth) on the night !
