Trevor Lazaro is raising money for Action for Children
Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
I'm doing this to highlight and support the charity Action for Children and their plight to change the face of neglect, homelessness and depravity, please join me in this challenge. Those that know me well, know that I do not do cold, sleep deprivation, camping or sleeping outdoors so this is a real challenge for me to undertake, the reason is simple:
ONE NIGHT = A LIFETIME'S DIFFERENCE

Deprivation, child neglect and youth homelessness remain a massive problem around the UK. We often view the possibility of homelessness as distant and unlikely. But every year around 80,00 young people in the UK experience homelessness. In a family under pressure, relationships can become fractured and breakdown. Arguments can escalate and those affected can feel they have no choice but to leave home. If that person is below the age of 21, then chances are they will have few places to turn. If your life is a doorway, a backpack and the sodden, dirty clothes you left home in, it can be easy to make misguided choices about your future. The dreams and ambitions forged in childhood quickly fade and are replaced by the crushing expectation and harsh reality of adulthood. On 2nd October thousands of people across the UK will sleep out so vulnerable young people don’t have to. The money raised by Byte Night, the UK’s largest sleep-out enables Action for Children to support services around the country. These services provide young people with the space, security and stability they need to get their lives back on track and are crucial to preventing youth homelessness. By donating to Byte Night, you can help those in danger of being forgotten, and give them the opportunity to build a better life for themselves. You can support my sleep out team by donating here: |
