With nearly 600 people already signed up, the Big Sleepout is set to be an evening bringing together businesses, colleagues, friends and individuals who want to make a meaningful difference to young people facing homelessness.
Taking part is an opportunity for businesses to demonstrate their commitment to their local community, support an important regional charity and bring colleagues together around a shared purpose.
Participants can enjoy a free curry, entertainment and a welcoming community atmosphere, while taking part in an experience that helps raise vital funds for young people who need support.
St Basils works with thousands of young people every year across the West Midlands, helping those who are homeless or at risk of homelessness to find somewhere safe to live, develop their skills and build positive futures.
The money raised through the Big Sleepout helps St Basils continue providing accommodation, practical support and opportunities for young people to change their lives.
Barrie Hodge, head of Income Generation and Social Value at St Basils, said: “It's fantastic to see nearly 600 people already registered for this year's Big Sleepout. It really shows the strength of our local community and what can be achieved when people come together for a shared cause.
“We would particularly love to see more businesses getting involved. Whether you bring a team of colleagues, support another business taking part or encourage your employees to fundraise, your involvement can make a real difference.
“Behind every person taking part is the opportunity to help a young person access a safe place to live and the support they need to build a brighter future. We know businesses want to make a positive contribution to their communities, and this is a brilliant opportunity to do just that.
“It's going to be a great night, so if you haven't registered yet, there's still time to get involved.”
