The City Sleeps tonight...

Sleeping bags on hand, Managing Director John O'Callaghan, Operations Director Nick Shepherd, and Pre-Construction Director Garry Bowker were joined by staff to endure a full night out on the streets.

In support of 2020 Challenge and Cathedral Archer Project, 19 volunteers from Kier Construction braved a cold night to sleep out in front of Sheffield Cathedral on Tuesday 11th May.

The following morning, sleep deprived, the team cooked breakfast for the homeless of Sheffield in the kitchens of Cathedral Archer Project.

2020 Challenge - Join the journey

This year Build UK are aiming to raise over £200k for charity with the 2020 challenge, the event will link up all the regional businesses on a ‘green’ journey and is open to everyone to take part.

Starting at the most northerly Kier site on Orkney the challenge is to join up each business on the green relay route that takes in all Kier offices and as many sites as possible. The journey has to be completed in 2020 hours and must finish at the most southerly site in Cornwall.

The challenge is to complete the green relay using only ‘non-motorised’ forms of transport such as walking, running, horse-riding, canoeing, kayaking, swimming, land surfing, surfing, ice skating, cycling…..

The monies raised will go towards the Kier Foundation charity this year ‘Alzheimer’s’ and to local charities that have been nominated by each of the local offices.

We would be grateful if you could help us raise as much money as possible by either sponsoring our journey or making a pledge.

As a sponsor you would be invited to join in the challenge at any stage. We have a range of sponsorship opportunities available and for our main sponsor the package also includes a team building day for ten people, which will make up part of the journey. The event takes place over four weeks providing plenty of press opportunities at local and regional levels for all sponsors.

We do hope that you will join us in some way on our journey and help us to raise us much money as we can for our chosen charities, who work so hard to support their local causes.
