Together, participants have helped raise in excess of £10,000, with final fundraising totals still being confirmed.
We would like to extend our sincere thanks to everyone who took part and supported this important initiative: Matthew Lane, Matthew Brooks, Mark Easby, Michael Duffey, Claire Preston, Danielle Croce, Helen Stewart, Stephanie Zielke, Rachel Gray, Mike Hind, Noel Dennis, Mark Rowntree, Christine Nunn, Alfie Breckon, and Caroline Noble.
Beyond the fundraising, the experience provided an opportunity to reflect on the challenges faced by some of the most vulnerable members of our communities while highlighting the importance of collective action and community support.
The willingness of local business leaders, trustees, supporters and friends of the Foundation to give up a night of comfort in support of such an important cause demonstrates the strength and generosity of our wider High Tide community.
We would also like to extend a special thank you to everyone who supported our participants through donations, sponsorship, fundraising activities and words of encouragement. The success of the CEO Sleepout would not have been possible without the generosity of our wider network of supporters, whose contributions have helped raise vital funds and awareness.
