Vicki Prout, CEO of franchise and business consultancy firm, Sherpa Group, and Quest franchisee, Andrew Edsor, are helping out a good cause by joining the national fundraising St Vincent de Paul CEO Sleepout event this Thursday 16 June.
Event participants will spend one night sleeping outside with limited bedding and selected food to experience homelessness first-hand.
“Like the traditional Sherpa, who braves the elements, protects where they can, leads from the front, carries packs and guides, I am hoping my small part will enlighten and encourage others to donate and become aware of the difficulties faced by many within our society. By no means, do I think it will be easy – scaling Mt Everest might be simpler!” Prout said.
