The inaugural CEO Sleepout Aberdeen has been hailed a resounding success, raising an incredible £72,236.00 to support vital local charities working to combat homelessness, poverty, and social exclusion.

Business leaders, community champions, and local influencers braved the cold overnight weather at Balmoral Stadium earlier this year, standing in solidarity with those facing hardship across the north-east.

The funds raised will be shared between Aberdeen Cyrenians, Aberdeen Foyer, CEO Sleepout UK, and the Cove Rangers Community Foundation, helping to provide life-changing support and services to those most in need.

Cove Rangers chairman Keith Moorhouse was among those who took part, along with club director Willie Young, and Keith says he is delighted the venture was such a success:

“I am so pleased to hear the project raised such an incredible sum, money which I know will be put to good use right across the region. It wasn’t the most comfortable night of my life, but that was small price to pay to take part in such a worthwhile venture.

“As much as raising money, it was about raising awareness, and I think the CEO Sleepout did a great job on both fronts.”
