Luke and Charlotte helping the Guru Nanak’s Mission in Nottingham
MD Luke and Charlotte our Sales & Account Manager were shocked my these figures and volunteered for the night to help serving a much needed hot pasta meal to the homeless on the streets in Nottingham.
“After I took part in the CEO Sleepout on in November 2021 it gave me a real insight into what it was like to sleep rough for the night, its tough. Especially in winter! It is not something these people have chosen and they do it every gnight. Helping to serve a hot meal on a freezing cold evening was just another way to support the homeless in Nottingham.”
