ESTATE agency staff will be sleeping rough to help the homeless.

Six staff at Hunters York are preparing to take part in the national CEO Sleepout fundraiser at Bootham Crescent on April 1.

They will be raising funds for Changing Lives, a national charity with a local branch that provides specialist help for the homeless and those in poverty.

Peter Croft, Hunters’ letting manager, said: “Our company is all about property.

“We feel it is right that we should stand at the front of the cause to raise as much money and awareness as possible for those without a home.”
