Five colleagues from CP Foods’ Hartlebury office will be sleeping under the stars in London’s Exchange Square for Centrepoint, a charity which helps provide emergency accommodation, support, information and training to homeless young people and hosts an annual sleepout to help raise vital funds and awareness.

Gloria Blount, Sharon Wakeman, Linda Beresford and John Vincent from the food producer will take to the streets on the chilly November evening trying to get some much needed sleep on cardboard boxes on a hard, cold floor among the bright lights and noise of central London.

Linda Beresford, Senior Commercial Manager comments, “It’s very easy for us to ignore the reality of being homeless in the UK if we are not exposed to it.  The Centrepoint sleepout is a great way to raise funds which can help give young people who, for whatever reason, have lost their way, a chance to get back on track and live a normal life and also remind us how tough it is for people in that situation.”
