I'm taking part in Boycott your Bed, spending a night in the most unusual place in my home to support Action for Children who believe that every child should grow up safe and happy. 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 childrens centre and are beginning to get their childhoods back. Without Action for Children, I dont know what we would have done. They made us feel that even though we had lost everything we still had so much.

Please help me raise funds to help vulnerable children and families across the UK.
