CEO Sleepout Kent 2026

My Story

2026 is my year of intention.

Outside of my office at Canterbury Innovation Centre a homeless person was snuggled up in a corner, keeping warm. This is unusual to see for me. It is outside of the city, off the cobbled streets and unless you know about the centre, you probably wouldn't go there! 

I want to be able to help a little wider reached than one person, so I decided to do this CEO sleepout.

This year, I’m choosing to act with purpose and compassion. I’ll be sleeping out beneath the stars at Leeds Castle alongside kind-hearted people from across Kent, to raise vital funds for those facing poverty and homelessness in our local community.

If you’re able, please support this intention by donating or sharing my page. Every contribution, no matter the size, helps bring dignity, warmth, and hope to someone who needs it most.

Thank you for your kindness, your generosity, and for believing that intentional action can truly change lives.
