Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.
As a team First Customer Contact & Connect we will be sleeping on the streets of Leeds for a night on October 6th to raise money for Action for Children alongside others in the tech industry, this is to combat poverty and assure a safe and happy childhood for under privileged children.
Together, we can make sure children have the essentials – like warm clothes, hot meals and a proper bed. Action For Children can offer the right mental health support, so children thrive.
Growing up in poverty is one of the biggest barriers a child can face. They’re more likely to face a serious illness during childhood as a result.
Poverty’s hidden side effects can be just as painful. No child should have to carry the burden of excess stress that comes with living in poverty. No child should feel the embarrassment. Or the social isolation that comes from missing out on trips, experiences and opportunities.
For the last 25 years, Action for Children has challenged people to give up their bed for a night and raise money to help vulnerable children.
This year you can help fight this by donating here, so please give what you can and help us fight childhood poverty! We will document the evening and keep you all updated with the progress. Anything you can give will go a long way, Thankyou for taking time to read this and for your anticipated donations :)
