A Team of Taylor Lewis heroes are going to sleep rough in Bristol on 11 November with other business leaders in the CEO Sleepout event. We have no doubt it will be an eyeopening challenge but our ultimate goal is to raise money and awareness for Help Bristol’s Homeless, Billy Chip and Best Mates.

I took part in the same Sleepout last year and it was a small fraction of the hardships faced by those who are homeless every day. To those that know me personally, they know that I hate being cold so to do it once is an experience but to do it again is a huge challenge!!

Of course, one night is not a huge hardship, nor will it give us the remotest sense of what being homeless is actually like. Your support would mean a lot to us as well as being for a great cause.

"Homeless really shouldn't mean hopeless..."

With every penny donated going directly to help those experiencing homelessness in Bristol - any donation amount would be hugely appreciated.

Any amount is welcome - even the cost of a coffee and toastie I am sure you'd buy us if you came across us sleeping rough.
