I'm sleeping out on the 3rd October this year no matter what the weather to raise awareness of youth homelessness in the UK. 

Every night over 100,000 young people will find themselves on the street. 1 in 7 of those experiencing such homelessness will have been physically or sexually abused and 1 in 3 of those will go on to try to commit suicide. 

Once a year thousands from the business and technology community spend a night exposed to the elements to support Action for Children's work preventing youth homelessness through sleeping out at Byte Night. Last year Byte Night raised a staggering £1,000,000 to allow Action for Children to continue their work supporting over 300,000 of the UK's young children, carers, parents and families. 

A donation of £5 could pay for emergency overnight support for a young person living on the street. For a previously homeless young person, £10 can buy a set of pots and pans to help them start to build their own, safe home. By donating £18, you could pay for a warm shower and hygiene kit to help a young person prepare for interviews, allowing them employment opportunities after a time spent homeless. 

Every donation made will go directly towards combating the root causes of youth homelessness. Thank you for all your support and generosity.
