The Manchester Sleep Out will be held at Assetz Capital’s office in south-west Manchester, while the London Sleep Out will take place at a venue in Enfield.

Both events are open to new participants who want to support the Mortgage Sleep Out but have yet to arrange their own event. 

The Manchester event will include participants from Sirius Manchester, NatWest Commercial, Easier Finances and Assetz Capital.

Adele Turton, director at Sirius Property Finance, said: “Homelessness is on the rise every year and this is a great cause, which I’m very proud to be part of it.

“We agreed to organising a Sleep Out in August and now ‘winter is coming’, it really brings it home just how difficult homelessness must be.

“There are industry Sleep Outs all over the country, including our colleagues at Sirius London and Brightstar Billericay. 

“If anyone would like to join us, please get in touch with myself or Damien Druce from Assetz Capital.”

Damien Druce, director at Assetz Capital, added: “What better time of the year to do this; when the suffering of the homeless is compounded by shorter days and much colder weather often with unpredictable extremities. 

“To add to this, whilst rough sleepers are seeking out safe places to stay, those more fortunate are Christmas shopping or out revelling with colleagues. 

“The mortgage industry can be fiercely competitive at times, but that competition never gets in the way of pulling together in support of good causes and this is the reason why I, along with our co-founder and CEO Stuart Law, will be joined by colleagues and peers from across Manchester to bolster our support in raising further awareness and funds for the homeless.”
