Story

My employer Tile Mountain has partnered with Stoke City FC to sponsor this year's Big Sleep Out' event; an annual initiative by Stoke City FC’s Community Trust that encourages supporters to brave the elements by sleeping out overnight in order to raise awareness and much-needed funds for homelessness charities in Stoke on Trent. As a long-standing Platinum Partner of the football club, Tile Mountain has thrown its support behind ‘The Big Sleep Out’ as part of its corporate social responsibility efforts and many members of its workforce (including yours truly) have agreed to take part in the event scheduled for Friday 25 March at Stoke City’s bet365 Stadium. Participants get first-hand experience of what it’s like to brave the elements overnight as they bed down inside and outside the Franklyn Stand concourse, all whilst raising much-needed funds for local homeless charities. The charities that will benefit in 2022 are The Macari Centre, The Lyme Trust, and The Gingerbread Centre. So, if you'd like to make my night bedding down on a cold concrete floor a bit more bearable whilst at the same time raising some cash for a great cause then please do chuck some dollar our way via this new-fangled digital portal! Nice one. Dean
