We are the ROCKBYTES team consisting of members from Aggregate Industries and Barclay Anderson. We are sleeping out on the 7th 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. 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, and last year Byte Night raised over £1.1 million to support this vital work.

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.

2016 Update - Lets walk to Birmingham!

Well we thought that we’d not only sleep out this year but also do something else - so we decided to walk from our office at Bardon Hill (near Coalville) to Birmingham itself, some 40 miles away. An intrepid group of 8 volunteers will be starting this big hike on Thursday afternoon, 15 September, with the aim of arriving in central Birmingham the next day.

Not only will we be taking some collection tins on the walk with us, but we’d like to think that we may be able to raise a bit more money by doing something a bit more ‘extra’ this year for a worthy cause.
