PHSC plc CEO Stephen King showcased leadership and community involvement by participating in the CEO Sleepout at Leeds Castle, where he successfully raised £1,500, meeting his fundraising target. Stephen’s contribution was part of a broader effort that saw the event raising over £26,000 so far, highlighting the collective impact of addressing homelessness.
The event, blessed with favourable weather, surpassed expectations both in fundraising and engagement. Attendees were treated to insightful presentations from CEO Sleepout, Porchlight, and the Amber Foundation, shedding light on the challenges faced by the homeless community.
Stephen’s achievement, alongside sponsorship from staff, clients, and suppliers, exemplified the inclusive nature of the fundraising effort. Their combined efforts, including Gift Aid contributions, significantly contributed to the event’s success.
A particularly moving moment came during a talk by Joe, a former homeless individual, who shared his journey of overcoming adversity with the support he received. Joe’s story underscored the human aspect of homelessness, resonating deeply with attendees.
As the event concluded, Stephen’s participation symbolised PHSC plc’s dedication to corporate social responsibility and community involvement. With ongoing momentum and growing support, there is optimism for continued progress in alleviating homelessness through collective action and compassion.
