Event: The Great Tommy Sleepout 2024, from 1 March 2024 to 31 March 2024
It's cold, it's dark, it's wet. Can you last the night? During the month of March, we are challenging you to join The Great Tommy Sleep Out. Sleep outside for one night to fund raise for RBLI and raise awareness for homeless ex-servicemen and women.

Story

On the evening of the 21st of March 2024, I and around 20-25 Members of National Highways Pavement Community, which includes representatives from National Highways and the Pavement Delivery Framework (PDF) Supply chain will be swapping our beds for sleeping bags and sleeping out under the stars at ‘Heidelberg Materials/MQP office in Whitwick, Leicestershire.

Reason for us doing this, is to raise much needed funds and awareness for over 6000 veterans that are experiencing homeless in the UK right now.

With every penny raised, Royal British Legion Industries can provide safe, warm housing, and ensure everyone has a fair opportunity to gain employment, regardless of health conditions or disability. Please help me and the pavement community group raise as much money as possible for this incredible cause.
