Byte Night London 2018 · 5 October 2018 ·

We protect and support children and young people, providing practical and emotional care and support. We ensure their voices are heard, and campaign to bring lasting improvements to their lives. Our vision is that every child and young person has a safe and happy childhood, and the foundations they need to thrive.

Story

We are sleeping out on 5th October , whatever the weather, to help tackle the root causes of youth homelessness.  Every year, 80,000 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.

We are giving up our beds for one night to make a positive difference to these young people’s lives. Action for Children supports 300,000 children, young people, their families and carers. In 2017, Byte Night raised over £1 million to support this vital work.

£25 could pay for a hot meal for 5 homeless young people. £20 can buy a set of pots and pans for 2 formerly homeless young people  as they 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.
