Story

     On 21st August I am boycotting my bed to raise money for Action for Children. I will be spending a night in a field near Chichester so that vulnerable children can grow up in a secure and happy environment. 

    Children like Joshua, who, at 13, was left with nothing when his family home caught fire, destroying their house and all their belongings. Unable to go back into their home, they spent nearly three months moving between temporary accommodation. However, with the support of Action for Children, Joshua was able to go straight back to school and has been receiving ongoing support for dealing with the trauma almost a year since the fire.
   His brother and sisters have been able to attend group sessions at their local children's center and are beginning to get their childhood back.
