CEO Sleepout Sheffield 2025
Lou Robey
My Story
“I’ve always feared being cold. ❄️ It’s one of my biggest fears.
Not just the physical shiver, but what it represents — discomfort, fragility, and the edge of my limits. The cold makes me want to retreat, hide, wrap myself up and avoid.
And that’s exactly why I’ve chosen to sleep out under the stars on 10th November — not in London, but in Sheffield .I'm joining compassionate people from across Sheffield for an unforgettable night beneath the stars. I will be sleeping out in Sheffield Olympic Legacy Park, raising funds for peoplealongside many other CEOs. This is totally out of my comfort zone, in a place I don’t know. Just how it might feel itself to be homeless with everyone else thats facing adverse poverty and homelessness in the area.
Why? Because I want to understand more deeply what it means to feel lost in life, and how being cold in a strange place really feels.”
Travelling the country for work, I often sees the growing plight of those without a safe place to call home. With over 270,000 people currently homeless in the UK, the crisis continues to rise.
“Every night on trains and tubes, I’m asked for help by people begging to afford a night off the streets. It’s impossible to ignore. its 2025 and I want to use my voice and platform to shine a light, and to help raise money for those too often unseen.”
Thats why I am will be sleeping out alongside others! Together, we hope to turn shivers into strength, and compassion into action. 💙❄️
Thank you for your kindness, your generosity, and your commitment to making the world a better place for everyone. I hope you can find just even £5 to support me - or more....Thank you from the bottom of my heart! As I smashed the my first target -I am nowgoing larger with the ask and rrasing it a bit more! HUGE Thanks!! Lou xx
