John Richmond, Conor Taylor, Ben Rahman, Vicky Palin and Fiona Stewart from our Fire & Security and Commercial teams spent a night outdoors at Preston's Deepdale Stadium for the Big PNE Sleep Out, raising awareness of hidden homelessness, particularly among women and girls. They beat their £500 target, raising over £600 for The Foxton Centre.

"It was a brilliant humbling experience that I shared with colleagues and I will never forget."

The Foxton Centre provides emergency support in Preston, including overnight beds, warm showers, clothing and round-the-clock help, with a dedicated service for women experiencing homelessness. Our Fire & Security team also joined Co-op and Uplands Construction to donate Easter eggs to Kids Bank in Thurrock, which supports local families with children's essentials.
