Staff at Midlands-based engineering solutions business, adi Group, will once again be coming together and joining Midlands businesses and individuals from across the community in support of St Basils Big Sleep Out.
The Big Sleep Out has been raising awareness of youth homelessness in the city since 1990 encouraging fundraisers to swap a Friday night in for cold cardboard shelters for one night a year.
adi Group will be participating in the Big Sleep Out for the fourth time this year, with a group of 20 individuals taking part.
Working with young people who are homeless or at risk of homelessness, St Basils runs prevention, accommodation and support services in Birmingham, Sandwell, Solihull, Worcestershire, the Wyre Forest and Coventry. The charity helps 4,000 young people per year with advice and prevention services, accommodation, support and learning, skills and work service
Alan Lusty, chief executive at adi Group, said:
St Basils is a fantastic charity, and one particularly close to our hearts, as they have facilities located very near to our headquarters aiding disadvantaged young people and families in our area. Last year we almost doubled our target, and this year we hope to raise as much as possible to support this incredibly important organisation.
