Join the sleepout
Byte Night is Action for Children’s annual sleep out event, with thousands of people joining the fight against youth homelessness.
Every year, 83,000 young people in the UK experience homelessness through no fault of their own. Byte Night raises money to fund Action for Children’s work with vulnerable young people, giving those who are at risk of or experiencing homelessness a brighter, more stable future.
What? We need your support to make the event the best it can be! Typical roles will include event set up, registering guests, selling raffle tickets and finance support.
When? Friday 4 October, 4.30pm – 11pm

Data engineer and Byte Night volunteer, Keith Hinde, said: ‘By day, I’m currently working as a contractor in the GBI team, but in any spare hours I get I’m also a member of the Byte Night Thames Valley board.
‘I’ll be sleeping out in Reading as part of a team of 10 under my my tech4pets banner (a community interest company I founded) so if anyone has any questions about Byte Night or would like to discuss any aspect of it, please get in touch at keith.hinde@royalmail.com.’
If you would like to volunteer for Action for Children’s Byte Night, please email leighanne.sullivan@actionforchildren.org.uk. Thank you for all your support.
