Story

Right now, over 4 million children live in poverty across the UK. That's almost 30% of all children. And with the impact of the cost of living crisis hitting home, they're even more vulnerable. Tonight, many will go to sleep hungry. Some won't even have a warm bed to climb into or a safe space to wake up in.

We're a vital lifeline - but we can't do it without you.

Together, we can make sure children have the basics like warm clothes, hot meals and a proper bed. We can help them recover from abuse and neglect, and put support in place for families to protect against it happening, too. And we can offer the right mental health support, so children thrive.

Sign up. Team up. Sleep out.

It's time to get your colleagues together, raise vital funds and take on the challenge of sleeping out. Choose from London, Leeds, Glasgow, Cardiff or Belfast. Wherever you are in the country, your dream team will help support vulnerable children across the UK.
