CEO Sleepout Nottingham · 5 October 2017 ·

Business leaders unite to fight homelessness, sleeping outdoors for one night alongside their peers, giving up the comfort of a warm bed to raise funds charities on the frontline of homelessness. CEO Sleepout events take place in cities across the UK. Will you join us?

Story

Hey, thanks for coming to my page; I'd love of you to help.

Our Country really does have a problem when it comes to supporting homeless people - I want to help, but don't give money to people on the street because its hard to know who is really homeless and who is a professional beggar...

  • How many times have you been stopped on the street by someone asking for money who appears to be homeless or struggling?
  • How many times have you pretended not to notice them and walked on by? 
  • If you're like me, you might feel a pinch of discomfort when going back to your cosy warm home, knowing that, just maybe, the person who asked for some change, really had nobody and no place to call home.
  • The CEO sleepout is me and a bunch of other people having a controlled outdoor sleepover in a football stadium; its our attempt of empathy for those less fortunate than us - we may get cold and wet, but it will only be for one night.
  • If  you make a donation for this very worth cause, you won't have to worry about the cash being wasted on booze and drugs, it will be spent to help people back into society and enable them to become functioning individuals with their own sense of worth. For me, that is worth a night of less than comfortable sleep, and your donation could help change the life of someone who really does need a leg up!
