I'm taking part in Boycott your Bed, spending the night in the most unusual place I can think of to raise funds for Action for Children that will help children and families go to bed dreaming of a safe and happy future. This includes Katie, who was referred to Action for Children after suffering abuse at the hands of an ex-partner, and struggling with her mental health. Her support worker, Hannah, became a vital lifeline.

"Hannah is consistent, and I know she is always available on the end of the phone...I don't know what I would do without her. With Action for Children, I feel cared for and protected."

When coronavirus hit, life got even harder for Katie and her son Christopher. Through Action for Children's Coronavirus Emergency Fund, Katie got a grant to pay for the basics as well as food vouchers.

"Before I was crying and always stressed...It was a godsend."

Please help me raise funds to help vulnerable children, young people and families across the UK.
