Right now, over 4 million children live in poverty across the UK. That’s almost 30% of all children. And 350,000 more than last year. With the impact of the cost of living crisis hitting home, they’re even more vulnerable. Tonight, many will go to sleep hungry. Some won’t have a proper bed to climb into or a safe space to wake up in.

Therefore on the 6th Oct 2023, I will spend the night sleeping outside with only a sleeping mat and bag to protect me from the elements to help more children to have a safe and happy childhood. I set up a Donations Page for anybody who likes to support this wonderful Charity Action for Children:

£125 could provide a child with a bed

£500 could provide meals and toiletries for five weeks

£1000 could provide an immediate grant to support four families

Together, we can make sure children have the basics – like warm clothes, hot meals and a proper bed. We can help them recover from abuse and neglect, and put support in place for families to protect against it happening. And we can offer the right mental health support, so children thrive.
