IT execs to rough it in Potters Fields
Over 200 senior IT executives will be encouraged by Jenny Agutter, Felicity Barr, Jack Ellis and Nicholas Owen to turn out for a night under the stars in Potters Fields as part of NCH's annual Byte Night event.
The event aims to raise funds for the charity's work with leaving care and homelessness projects across the UK.
High profile IT industry representatives will gather at City Hall for a reception, before heading out to Potters Fields. A quiz will be hosted by ITV News's Felicity Barr and ITV Lunchtime News presenter Nicholas Owen will be conducting an auction; before participants bed down for the night.
"Byte Night is one of NCH's flagship events," says Sam Thomas, NCH's Byte Night project manager. "Securing commitment from over 200 of the UK's most senior IT and Technology executives is a tremendous achievement and will make a huge difference to our work with young homeless people and care leavers."
