Boycott your Bed is taking place nationally on Friday 7th October - An Action for children initiative. For the last 25 years, Action for Children has challenged people to give up their bed for a night, raising an incredible £13 million along the way. This simple act has had a huge impact on children, young people and their families across the UK. Our Cloud, Edge & MPN team here at Vodafone have chosen Action for Children as the charity that they will be supporting as a team this year and on Tuesday 27th September, the team will "boycott their bed" and sleep out under the stars at Newbury HQ. - EEEKKK!!!   How can YOU make a difference?  Right now, there are 3.9 million UK children in poverty. And with the cost of living crisis spiraling out of control, they're even more vulnerable. Home isn’t the loving place it’s supposed to be. Tonight, children all over the UK will go to sleep hungry. Some of these children don’t even have a warm bed to climb into.But you can help change this. Here's a few ways how:

£40 could pay for gas and electricity for a family for a week

£100 could provide a child with a bed

£1,000 could fund the entire Parent Talk service for one day

Together, we can make sure children have the basics – like warm clothes, hot meals and a proper bed. We can offer the right mental health support, so children thrive. And provide protection and recovery to child victims of abuse and neglect.  We can help children in poverty now – but we can’t do it without you.  Donate now...
