This October, The Shakespeare will be joining managers from Nicholson’s pubs across Birmingham to take part in the Mitchells & Butlers National Sleep Out, supporting Social Bite and their mission to end homelessness.

Our Assistant Manager Hugo will be braving the cold overnight, standing in solidarity with people experiencing homelessness and raising vital funds for projects that help individuals move towards safety, stability, and a fresh start.

Every donation goes directly to Social Bite, a charity working to break the cycle of homelessness through free meals, supported employment, and safe places to stay. Their vision is a society where no one is left without a home.

Your support genuinely has the power to give someone vulnerable a life‑changing opportunity._

If you’re able to donate, it truly makes a difference. Thank you for being part of the movement to end homelessness.
