Sleep under the stars in Portsmouth with CEO Bianca Robinson to combat homelessness

Is your Chief Executive one of the many top board members sleeping under the stars this week? If yes, they’ll be joining CEO Sleepout Chief Executive Bianca Robinson in raising funds to support homelessness.

This event, featuring members of the local business community, will be the third CEO Sleepout since 2018 and will take place at Fratton Park on April 27th.

Bianca said, “Business leaders have the power, opportunity and responsibility to ensure they are active within communities and play a role in strengthening the fabric of society.

“This event is a chance for them to take leadership and make a stand against inequality.”

Funds raised from this event will be donated to initiatives that are working locally on the frontline to support those who are homeless.

The money will be split between a number of local charities including Pompey in the Community, Life House, Home Start, Free to Fly, The Roberts Centre, as well as local foodbanks.

Terence Carvalho, Regional Director from Delivered Social, is sleeping out for the first time. He said: “I’m so proud to be alongside so many incredible business leaders in our city who are helping raise funds and awareness for homelessness in Portsmouth.”

Speaking of why it is important for the local business community to get involved, Terence said: “We need to get behind CEO Sleepout to make our city a better place to live, work and invest.”

While the national figures on homelessness have increased, work on the homelessness issue in Portsmouth is heading in the right direction, with rough sleeping figures down this year. To sign up visit: ceosleepout.co.uk/portsmouth
