I am taking part in the CEO Sleepout in Newcastle on March 1st 2018.  Last year I spent time with one of the projects that receives funding to understand where the money goes.  As well as supporting community engagement programmes, Newcastle United Foundation uses the funds to support its Homeless Football Club.  Over 80 vulnerable young people and adults who are currently facing homelessness, recovering from drug and alcohol addiction, or facing mental health issues participate in their weekly homeless football sessions. 

As well as the Sleepout, I am talking to the Foundation about spending time helping people in the local area.  My target is £5,000 and the entire Newcastle event with all of us participating hopes to reach £125,000 (the club is 125 years old).
