Three Veka Group directors will their duvets and buttoning up their winter coats for a chilly overnight stay at Burnley FCās Turf Moor this October.
The Turf Moor Sleep Out event has been planned to heighten awareness of homelessness in the local area and raise money for three charities: Burnley FC in the Community, Emmaus, and SafeNet Domestic Abuse Service for Janeās Place Womenās Refuge.
Vekaās marketing director Dawn Stockell, sales director Neil Evans, and finance director Graham Fitton will be joining other regional business leaders, football fans and fundraisers on October 12 to raise money for these valuable causes.
Newcastle FC supporter Neil said: āIt will certainly feel strange staying over at the Burnley ground, but there was no way I could say ānoā to such an important event. The charities involved provide a range of vital community services including support for education, recreation, homelessness and domestic violence, and Iām proud to do my bit to drum up awareness and funds.ā
Dawn: āVeka, and its entire workforce, is well known for getting stuck in to charity work, community causes and local projects. Itās a significant part of the companyās ethos and one that we are very proud of. So, if I have to swap my bedside lamp and feather pillows for floodlights and a football pitch on a cold October eveningā¦ then so be it. Itās all for a good cause ā or three ā and thatās the Veka way.ā
