I am sleeping out on Friday 5th October, whatever the weather,
to help tackle the root causes of youth homelessness. Every year, 83,000 young
people find themselves without a place to stay. 1 in 7 homeless young people
will have been physically or sexually abused and 1 in 3 will try to commit
suicide. I’m giving up my bed for one night to make a positive difference to
these young people’s lives. Action for Children supports 370,000 children,
young people, their families and carers, and last year Byte Night raised over
£1.3 million to support this vital work.

A donation of just £5 could pay for a hot meal for a homeless young person. £10
can buy a set of pots and pans to help a formerly homeless young person start
to build their own home. By donating £18, you could pay for a warm shower and
hygiene kit to help a young person prepare for interviews. Thank you for your
support.
