Shining a light on homelessness

The team at Miles & Barr have been busy in their fundraising efforts for a local charity supporting homeless and vulnerable people, Porchlight.

Centred around World Homeless Day, which took place on October 10th, activities included a sleep out, bake sale and going purple for the day.

On Saturday, October 7th, colleagues across the company participated in the annual Sleep Out. By experiencing a night sleeping outside, staff gained a humbling understanding of the important work and mission of Porchlight.

The team in Broadstairs held a successful customer bake sale, selling cakes for both humans and dogs. With baked treats crafted by the team, colleagues in head office got in on the action and also hosted their own internal cake sale.

For the third consecutive year, Miles & Barr turned all offices Purple for Porchlight on World Homeless Day. From the window displays to staff, Purple became the colour of choice for Miles & Barr.
