This year MCS Group is proudly supporting Action for Children. Our main fundraising activity for the year is to participate in Byte Night 2017. The team sleeping out under the stars are Barry Smyth, Louise Smyth, Sean Devlin and Karen Newton. 

Byte Night is taking place on Friday 6th October, across 10 locations within the UK and is Action for Children's biggest annual fundraiser; a national ‘sleep-out’ event. Each year, hundreds of like minded people from the technology and business arena give up their beds for one night to help change the lives of vulnerable young people. 

We are extremely grateful for any support that you can provide towards this fantastic cause. A donation of just £5 could pay for a hot meal for a homeless young person while £10 could pay for basic toiletries or a hygiene set for a young person who doesn’t have the basics. Raising £60 could help Action for Children arrange supported lodgings with a caring family for a young homeless person to give them a safe, secure place to live.

Action for Children supports more than 390,000 children, young people and families each year. In particular, Byte Night works to support some of the 83,000 young people who are homeless in the UK every year through no fault of their own. Family breakdown, mental health issues and abuse in the home are just a few of the causes which lead to many young people becoming homeless. Action for Children has supported many young people to a safe and happy future. Unfortunately, so many more still need our help.
