Right now, there are 3.9 million UK children in poverty. And with the cost of living crisis spiralling out of control, theyre even more vulnerable. Tonight, children all over the UK will go to sleep hungry. Some of these children dont even have a warm bed to climb into.

But you can help change this.

Together, we can make sure children have the basics like warm clothes, hot meals and a proper bed. We can offer the right mental health support, so children thrive. And provide protection and recovery to child victims of abuse and neglect.

Growing up in poverty is one of the biggest barriers a child can face. Theyre more likely to face a serious illness during childhood as a result.

Povertys hidden side effects can be just as painful. No child should have to carry the burden of excess stress that comes with living in poverty. No child should feel the embarrassment. Or the social isolation that comes from missing out on trips, experiences and opportunities.

Sign up. Team up. Sleep out

For the last 25 years, Action for Children has challenged people to give up their bed for a night, raising an incredible £13 million along the way. This simple act has had a huge impact on children, young people and their families across the UK.

Now, after a two-year absence, the live sleep out is back. So, whether youre in London or Leeds, Cardiff or Belfast, or youre ready to brave an autumnal night in Glasgow, its time to take on the challenge of sleeping out and help make childrens dreams of a safe and happy childhood come true.

We can help children in poverty now but we cant do it without you.
