I am still shocked to discover the scale of how many children and young people sleep rough in the UK in this day and age. The official text below from "Action for Children" contains some stats that made me think:

Every year, 83,000 young people find themselves without a place to stay. Action for Children supports 370,000 children, young people, their families and carers, and last year Byte Night raised over £1.3 million to support this vital work.

To do my bit, I'm joining Byte Night to sleep out on the 5th October 2018 in Newcastle Upon-Tyne, whatever the weather, to help tackle the root causes of youth homelessness. Giving up my bed for one night to make a positive difference to young people’s lives. 

Below are examples of what a difference your donation can make.

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. Thank you for your support.

Thank you once again for all your support. 

Cheers, Joey.
