Well, we've had the sleep out and thankfully it didn't rain. It was very cold though.

This was the IT industry's tenth annual sleepout to raise funds for Action for Children's homelessness projects. I have taken part in eight of the sleepouts, and each year I am happy when I get up at 6.00am and return to my family, a hot bath and a warm bed; painfully aware though that the young homeless have no such comforts.

I have seen the how well the Action for Children Homelessness Projects work, giving the support and help needed to enable young people to take control of their lives.  Even a small donation will help Action for Children make a big difference to a vulnerable young person's life.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Action for Children gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

So please sponsor me now!
