Northern Ireland\u2019s leading homelessness charity, The Simon Community NI, recently organised a sleepout at the Titanic Docks in Belfast to help raise awareness and essential funds for their life-changing services supporting the homeless across Northern Ireland.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Shockingly, it is thought that on average, there are 100,000 people currently without their own home. With this in mind as the end of the year approached, as well as the dropping temperatures, our team here at Tech Europe were honoured to get involved to support the remarkable work carried out by the Simon Community.<\/p>\n

Team Tech was made up of our Managing Director, Gary, VP of Sales & Marketing, Iain, Financial Controller, Stephen, Purchasing Manager, Sam and Marketing Executive, Rachael. Lasting 12 hours, the Titanic Dock Sleepout aimed to push participants out of their comfort zone to experience and raise awareness of the dangers of being homeless as well as the extent to which it is prevalent in Northern Ireland and around the world.<\/p>\n

We would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who kindly donated to our JustGiving page for this amazing cause, including our valued suppliers, MSO Cleland<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0TR Logistics Group.<\/a><\/p>\n

We were also delighted to get the whole Tech Europe team involved by hosting a coffee morning at our offices just days before the big event. Thanks to the generosity of our staff, our coffee morning increased our total fundraising amount to \u00a3961, helping smash our target of \u00a3500!\u00a0The event as a whole has raised over \u00a37,000 so far.<\/p>\n

Check out our photos of the sleepout and coffee morning below!<\/p>\n
