Mark slept under the stars as part of The Great Tommy Sleep Out 2025! Speaking before the event, Mark said…
“Goaded for a great cause!
A few weeks ago I responded to a heartfelt post from dear friend/client, Ollie Barnett of DEFINE – a small donation to support his brave venture, sleeping out in aid of our selfless war veterans!
Little did I know he’d call me out…
Unfortunately, I suffer from a condition known as “reflex yes”, so I didn’t get away lightly!
I’m now in the trenches with him, Tom Egan of City Contractors, and a few other great folks, all for a great cause. This was not on my radar. And it looks f’ing freezing for tonight sleeping rough…
Good!
That’s why I said yes – discomfort and solidarity amongst good people. A chance to empathise, even just a little, with those who gave so much and now have so little.”

Between 100 and 400 veterans sleep rough in England every year, with a further 3,000 to 4,000 facing homelessness.
