Jack Barmby, CEO of Bury based Gnatta, will be swapping his briefcase for a sleeping bag on the 16th October 2017. He will be joining other senior level employees (from various industries) in giving up his bed for one night to help those that don’t have one. Participants of CEO Sleepout have been asked to lead by example; they’ll braving the cold and sleeping outdoors to raise awareness and aid for homeless funds in Greater Manchester.
CEO Sleepout is a charity set up to fight homelessness and poverty. Their cause is funded solely by money raised by executives who sleep outdoors for one night, raise sponsorship from their business contacts and friends in the process.
Jack, who founded Gnatta at the age of 21 whilst studying at university, hopes that – with the support of his colleagues, friends, and family – he will raise over £1,000 for the homeless in Manchester.
“CEO Sleepout is going to be incredibly tough; sleeping rough in Manchester will really drive home the reality that people face on a daily basis. As someone fortunate enough to have a steady income, it’s important that I help raise awareness of a key problem in our area. Manchester Evening News have been doing some incredible work highlighting the problem and I hope I can help in my own, small way.” – Jack Barmby
