Crawley teen's '˜sleep out' to raise money for the homeless
Kieran Lord told the Crawley Observer that it was part of an annual fundraising drive by his employer, ILG.
“Our company picks a charity that we would support each year and throughout the year we will try and make as much money as possible, “ he explained. “For example doing the sleep out, as well as non-uniform days at work.
“We have previously done a bake-off too.”

In total, ILG raised between £9,000 and £10,000 for Crawley Open House, which supports homeless and disadvantaged people.
