Birketts has a long-standing commitment to doing the right thing in support of our people and local communities.
This year, we launched The Great Birketts Sleepout, a firm-wide initiative to encourage as many colleagues as possible to unite together with the aim of helping tackle a major issue facing UK society in the communities in which we operate – youth homelessness.
We want to make our contribution bigger and better than ever before – by encouraging as many colleagues as possible to spend one night sleeping outside in aid of a great cause. The money raised will help young people, who may not have had the best start in life, into safe homes and successful futures.
Our offices have successfully taken part in a number of local sleep outs to date, raising an extraordinary amount of money for charities in need. In support of the initiative, the firm will be sponsoring the events listed below.
