Homelessness and poverty are all around us in London, but alongside other caring business people we can help fight it!

I will be sleeping rough at the CEO Sleepout event in London on 22 November to raise funds for homeless charities including the one I'm Chair of, Borderline.  I've done the Sleepout before, so I know it will be very cold, noisy, uncomfortable and will take a couple of days to get over (think severe jet-lag, if you can remember that) but it's only one night, and at least I have a choice in doing this!  Real rough sleepers don't.

The last 2 years of Covid-19 have been especially challenging for those in hardship but through CEO Sleepout and its beneficiaries we will ensure we really help vulnerable people.  Borderline's direct outreach service helps reduce overall homelessness in London by helping Scots who find themselves in London sleeping rough or with nowhere safe to live.  I became a trustee and then Chair a few years ago as I wanted to help fellow Scots who'd come to find work
and build a life in London but not been as lucky as me.  Read more here:  https://www.borderline-uk.org/about-us/
