Story

Ellie and I are sleeping out on the 6th October, whatever the weather, to help tackle the root causes of youth homelessness we'll also be raising money for Action for Chikdren.


 Every year, 80,000 young people find themselves without a place to stay. 1 in 7 homeless young people will have been physically or sexually abused and 1 in 3 will try to commit suicide. I’m giving up my bed for one night to make a positive difference to these young people’s lives. Action for Children supports 390,000 children, young people, their families and carers, and last year Byte Night raised over £1 million to support this vital work.

A donation of just £5 could pay for a hot meal for a homeless young person. £10 can buy a set of pots and pans to help a formerly homeless young person start to build their own home. By donating £18, you could pay for a warm shower and hygiene kit to help a young person prepare for interviews. Thank you for your support.
