On Friday, 7 October I will be spending the night sleeping rough for Byte Night, which raises funds & awareness of youth homelessness in the UK.

Byte Night is Action for Children’s flagship event, where people from across the technology and business sectors give up their beds for one night to help change the lives of homeless young people across the UK.

There are 300,000 young people sleeping rough, or in unsafe accommodation on any given night in the UK, a shocking statistic that drives Action for Children to combat the root causes of homelessness.

It’s likely to be wet, cold and uncomfortable, but it is nothing compared to the reality that many of these vulnerable young people experience every night. This is a fantastic charity, and your support can make a huge a difference to the lives of so many vulnerable young people.

For more information about Byte Night and the young people it has helped – please visit www.bytenight.org.uk

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.
