Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.
We are sleeping out on the 5th October, whatever the weather, to help tackle the root causes of youth homelessness. As a house builder we are very much used to 4 walls and a roof, so we will be braving the conditions of a cold night in Leeds to support this worthy cause. Byte Night has been running for many years up and down the country but this is the first year there will be a Byte Night Yorkshire.
Our Team is made up of IT Director Alastair Rutter, Head of Architecture & Cybersecurity Andy Walton, IT Team Administrator Kathryn Russell, IT Business Partners Kate Oxley & Kieran Farrell, Head of Communications & Marketing Liz Dimitrijevic and Senior Digital Marketing Manager Michael Francis.
Every year, 83,000 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 370,000 children, their families and carers, and last year Byte Night raised over £1.3 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.
We thank you for your support!
Alastair, Andy, Kathryn, Kate, Kieran, Liz and Michael
