On the eve of the Essex’s opening home men’s fixture, the Essex Super Sleep Out took place in the stands at The Cloud County Ground to raise money for charity.
Essex Cricket partnered with Chelmsford-based charity, CHESS Homeless to welcome volunteers to experience a night outside and raise awareness for the fantastic work carried out by the charity to help those sleeping rough.
Club Ambassador Graham Gooch supported the event which was also raising money for the Essex Cricket Foundation.
CHESS Homeless seeks to ensure that people who find themselves homeless are supported in ways that enable them to move forward purposefully and in good health. CHESS has bedspaces for up to 60 residents across 12 properties providing temporary accommodation, 1-1 support, mental health & wellbeing courses, and can also guide to other external agencies as required.
