mydeposits is proud to announce its sponsorship and participation in Centrepoint’s Sleep Out 2024.
This is a vital event aimed at raising awareness of youth homelessness and funds to help 16–25-year-olds without a place to call home. A team from mydeposits will join participants on Thursday 14 November at the iconic Oval cricket ground, where they will sleep outside for the night to experience some of the hardships that homeless individuals face daily. mydeposits are pleased to be a Silver Sponsor for the event, increasing their commitment to this amazing cause.
Sleep Out, organised by youth homelessness charity, Centrepoint, is designed to draw attention to the rising issue of homelessness among young people. Nothing can truly reflect the horror of rough sleeping, but this event aims to shine a light on some of the experiences and challenges faced by those forced to sleep on the streets.
According to Centrepoint, almost 136,000 young people faced homelessness last year – a record high. As economic instability continues to affect vulnerable groups, mydeposits is committed to combating this issue through corporate social responsibility initiatives.
In addition to sponsorship, mydeposits team members will be actively participating in the Sleep Out to show solidarity with the cause and to emphasise the importance of supporting young people facing homelessness. The company’s involvement in this event is part of its ongoing efforts to make a difference through CSR initiatives and its charity partnership with Centrepoint, including the tenant donation scheme, through which mydeposit customers have now donated over £66,000 to Centrepoint since its inception.
Eddie Hooker, CEO of mydeposits, commented: "Our participation in Sleep Out 2024, as a Silver Sponsor, is a reflection of mydeposits' commitment to giving back to the communities we serve. We are proud to align our values with Centrepoint’s mission to end youth homelessness, and this event is just the beginning of our exciting charity partnership with them."
