For one night in May, CEOs from Wales and beyond will bed down to Cardiff Castle and sleepout to raise money to end homelessness.
The Sleepout is a one-night fundraiser hosted by the charity organisation, CEO Sleepout. It aims to bring business leaders together to make a stand against homelessness.
Whilst a sleepout doesn’t pretend to replicate what it’s like to spend a night on the streets but it does offer some perspective.
At The Wallich, we’ve been working with our lived experience Shadow Board to ensure this event is inclusive to people experiencing homelessness.
The event hopes to have expert support workers from The Wallich and part of our Street Fleet vehicles, which will ensure that people rough sleeping in Cardiff can access support and aren’t excluded from the warmth, provisions and safety of the event.
The evening will include panels of speakers including people who have experienced homelessness and representatives from the services which support them.
We’re looking for as many CEOs, Directors and Senior Managers to get involved as possible.
Each CEO will pledge to raise at least £1,000 each.
You won’t be alone and can bring your team, a sleeping bag for warmth and there will be somewhere for you to have warm drinks. However, you are limited to what you can bring to help you through the night.
If you have any questions, feel free to get in touch with us at dosomething@thewallich.net

In a climate where homelessness is at its highest, it’s important that homelessness charities such as The Wallich, can continue to offer the support they do.
