Top company executives will take part in the city’s first ‘CEO Sleepout’ at Notts County to raise money for people battling homelessness.
Company bosses will be invited to raise money for registered charity CEO Sleepout after Notts County Football in the Community (FITC) and Trent Bridge Community Trust (TCBT) teamed up to organise the event.
After a number of successful high-profile events at St James’ Park, Lord’s and Villa Park, the home of the world’s oldest football club will be Nottingham’s first host of the charity event on Thursday October 13 with over 20 CEOs having already registered.
The charities should be applauded for arranging this
Taking part in the sleepout is chief executive of Nottingham City Homes Nick Murphy, who said: “I’m delighted to be taking part.
“I think it’s a great initiative and FITC and TBCT should be applauded for arranging this.
“I’m sure the support and the profile it will give to these worthwhile local charities will be of enormous value to them.”
Organisers from both FITC and TBCT are optimistic that Nottingham CEOs will be keen to join the event to help raise thousands of pounds to support Nottinghamshire’s community.
FITC’s events and partnership executive Neil Kelly said: “We’ve wanted to organise a sleep out at Meadow Lane for some time and decided to partner with CEO Sleepout because they have had such success in organising similar events around the UK.
“We are working with the TBCT, The Friary and Emmanuel House’s Winter Shelter to organise a memorable event that will raise important funds at a key time of year for homeless people.
“With so many committed local charities working together, we hope many people will benefit from this event.”
