Sleep out in aid of homeless military veterans Colleagues will swap their warm beds for sleeping bags as part of ‘The Great Tommy Sleep Out’ in aid of homeless military veterans. Emma Colley, an Emergency Care Technician, and Sarah Millington, a Healthcare Assistant (HCA), who both work in the Emergency Department at PRH will be joined by others to sleep out on the Wrekin. Fifteen adults including doctors, nurses, HCAs and non-clinical staff, and four children have so far offered to join the pair on Saturday 29 March. The sleep out is a national award-winning fundraising challenge, raising money for the Royal British Legion Industries (RBLI) to support veterans that are experiencing homelessness. Sarah said: “We will spend the night sleeping outside on the Wrekin. It will be cold and probably wet but it’s nothing compared to what some veterans are facing day in, day out. “The RBLI also supports veterans to find work and lead independent lives. These are our patients, patient’s family members and colleagues and we want to show our support. The group’s Just Giving fundraising page can be found here.
