I will be spending one night in London on 4th October without my bed to raise money for children who face every night without a safe, warm place to sleep.

4.3 million children now live in poverty in the UK. That's 30% of all children. It's easy to think poverty happens elsewhere. But it's affecting the child in the park. Next door. The children whose names you know.

Tonight, many will go to bed hungry. Struggle to sleep in a cold, damp house - clutching their broken toy because they won't get another. And start the next day without a warm coat or shoes that fit.

But with your help, we could give a child warm clothes, hot meals and a proper bed. You could help us to be there, with love and without judgement, in moments of crisis when children are living without the essentials.

At Action for Children, we’re a vital lifeline for vulnerable families – but we can’t do it without you.
