Month: August 2018

Borderline is looking for people from all sectors to join them for CEO Sleepout, a challenge event raising money for three homeless charities, of which Borderline is one.  Participants will give up their beds for just one night in favour of the stands of Lord’s Cricket Ground, to raise awareness of what many homeless people experience every night.

The event will take place on 29 October and participants will be expected to raise £2,000.  You will recall that the Minister and John Mowbray both took part in this event in 2017 and successfully reached the fundraising target.  Could you emulate their achievement this year?  For further information please contact Olivia Levins at olivia.levins@borderline-uk.org or 0845 4562.
