We are sleeping out for the night for Action for Children because we wish to tackle youth homelessness
We are sleeping out on the 5th October, whatever the weather, to help tackle the root causes of youth homelessness. 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, young people, their families and carers, and last year Byte Night raised over £1.25 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. Thank you for your support.
Remember: Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never share them with anyone or send you unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. They'll make sure Gift Aid (an additional 25%) is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer, too. That means more money goes to the charity, faster, with JustGiving.
