Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

We are helping this extremely worthy cause by spending a cold night sleeping rough on the streets of London!!

The money they raise helps Action for Children tackle the root causes of youth homelessness and gets thousands of children and young people off the streets and into secure accommodation with education and training opportunities.
Each year, at least 75,000 children and young people experience homelessness*;
1 in 3 attempt suicide† and 1 in 7 young runaways are physically or sexually assaulted (this figure rises to almost 1 in 2 after a week‡).
Byte Night is a unique event that takes place across the UK. In 2008, it raised £470,000. Now in its 11th year, it is one of the single biggest fundraisers for Action for Children.
Your support of Byte Night is vital to ensuring it continues to support the thousands of vulnerable young people Action for Children work with each year.
Byte Night sleepers range from systems developers to CIOs and business managers to marketers who regularly return each year for a rewarding and memorable experience.
