Through Byte Night, Action for Children raises funds and awareness of youth homelessness and tackles the root causes of why young people find themselves on the streets.

I will be hosting a talk about the long distance bike ride I did from New Zealand back to the UK. I slept outside on many nights, in many countries, however this was by choice. The UK kids who are homeless have a little or no choice.  All proceeds from the talk will go to Action for Children.

We will be holding a number of events to raise money over the coming months culminating with the official Byte Night event in Oct, where a number of us from BBC Future Media Children's Department will be joining other IT professionals in the North West and spending a night on the cold streets of MediaCity in Salford to raise awareness for the cause.

Please donate as much as you can!

Thanks
