Staff from across the industry are to spend a night on the streets again this year to raise money for homelessness charities as part of the Mortgage Sleep Out 2020.

In November 2018 more than 500 people took part in the initiative, raising £110,000 for the End Youth Homelessness charity.

It comprised 25 events across the UK and involved staff rom 40 different companies.

There was considerable social media support for the campaign as #mortgagesleepout made it into the top 10 UK Twitter trends on the day most of the sleep out events took place.

End Youth Homelessness managing director Nick Connolly says: “I’m so excited that Mortgage Sleep Out is returning in 2020 and promises to be even bigger and better. 

“The 2018 event raised a phenomenal amount of money that was put to good use to help homeless young people across the country. 

“Just imagine what we can achieve this year.”

Brightstar chief executive Rob Jupp says: “Everyone who took part in Mortgage Sleep Out in 2018 made a tangible difference to the lives of young people who are struggling to find their feet. 

“This year we want to get more people involved so that we can help more people. Watch this space for more details of the 2020 Mortgage Sleep Out, which will be released on 20 March. 

“As an industry, it is in our power to make this a very significant event and raise a lot of money for those less fortunate than ourselves.”
