As some of you may know, Social Bite is not just any old sandwich shop.  Social Bite is in fact a social enterprise that was set up with a specific aim of helping the homeless.  It gives 100% of its profits to charity.

For the last two years Social Bite have worked with itison
to feed the homeless on Christmas Day and throughout the following year. Last year 72,900 meals were banked for homeless people in Scotland and refugees overseas.  This has allowed Social Bite to feed the homeless in three cities every day for two years!

This year Social Bite are inviting over 100 CEOs of Scottish Businesses to sleep homeless in Edinburgh on the 15^th of December to help raise funds for innovative solutions to Scotland’s homelessness problem and we are both delighted to be taking part. 

In addition to using the funds to help maintain Social Bite’s existing support activities, it also plans raise enough money to help build the first Social Bite Village.  This village will be built on land obtained from The City of Edinburgh Council and will comprise housing for 20 people.  The village will comprise a gym, a chicken coup, a vegetable plot and a support hub for its residents. 

Christmas is a time of year where we eat, drink and are merry with our families and friends.  However, it is also an incredibly lonely and harsh time for our homeless population.  We are hoping that you and your staff will support this truly wonderful event and sponsor us both on the 15^th December.

Thank you for your support!
