On the 5th of October, I will be part of an Accenture team taking part in Byte Night North West.

We will be sleeping out, whatever the weather (and it looks like rain!) to raise money for Action for Children. Every year, 83,000 young people find themselves without a place to stay. 1 in 7 homeless young people will have been physically or sexually abused and 1 in 3 will try to commit suicide. I'm giving up my bed for one night to fundraise to make a positive difference to these young people's lives. Action for Children supports 370,000 children, young people, their families and carers, and last year Byte Night raised over £1.3 million to support this vital work.

A donation of just £5 could pay for a hot meal for a homeless young person. £10 can buy a set of pots and pans to help a formerly homeless young person start to build their own home. By donating £18, you could pay for a warm shower and hygiene kit to help a young person prepare for interviews. 

Thank you for your support!

Remember: Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. They'll also make sure Gift Aid (an additional 25%) is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
