On Friday 6th October, I took on the challenge of sleeping outside to support the most vulnerable children in Northern Ireland.
 
Right now, over 4 million children live in poverty across the UK. 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.
 
Action for Children make sure children have the basics — warm clothes, hot meals and a proper bed. They can help them recover from abuse and neglect, and put support in place for families to protect against it happening. And can offer the right mental health support, so children thrive.
 
Please help us raise vital funds to help a vulnerable child's dreams of a safe and happy childhood come true.
 
£45 could pay for gas and electricity for a family for a week
£50 could buy clothes and shoes for a child
£125 could provide a child with a bed
£200 could provide a family with a cooker
 
Thank you so much for anything you can contribute towards my goal. Please add Gift Aid so the charity receives an additional 25% on top of your donation.

This is an annual event on the first Friday of October, and we'd love to see you there next year! Reach out if you'd like more information.
