I'm excited to be supporting Action for Children by taking part in Boycott your Bed on July 9th, spending the night out of my bed and in the most unusual place I can think of. The money I raise will help Action for Children support children and families hit hardest by the coronavirus pandemic. Life was difficult for vulnerable children and their families before the pandemic. Now things are even worse. For most of us, happier times are ahead. But for children and families in desperate need, there's no end in sight. Nine children in every UK school class of 30 are currently classified as living in poverty. Poverty has a devastating impact on children - its effects can last a lifetime. But Action for Children are working hard to stop poverty and the pandemic from scarring a generation. Please help us raise some funds to ensure more children can go to bed dreaming of a safe and happy future.
