Birketts has a long-standing commitment to doing the right thing in support of our people and local communities. This November, Birketts will be taking part in a Sleep Out and spending one night sleeping outside (in St Stephen's Walbrook church) to raise funds for Whitechapel Mission. We will also make a donation to St. Stephen Walbrook, the church where Rev'd Chad Varah founded The Samaritans organisation, to thank them for hosting our event.

Whitechapel Mission is dedicated to providing a lifeline to the poor and homeless of London, who struggle each day against hunger, poverty and exclusion. Our goal is to help people to help themselves, giving them the confidence they need to become independent, which we do through practical support and advice and by teaching them the life skills they need to succeed. We believe everyone deserves chance, regardless of their background, race or religion.
