On Friday 6th October 2017, more than 1,500 employees throughout the technology and business community slept out in 11 locations across the UK as part of the 20th year of Byte Night. The event was a great success and we raised an incredible £1,251,106!
Join us this year on Friday 5th October 2018 in one of our 12 locations; East Anglia, Edinburgh, Glasgow, London, Midlands, Northern Ireland, North East, North West, South West, Thames Valley, Wales and Yorkshire.
Action for Children identifies neglect early before families’ problems reach crisis point.
We find the root causes of homelessness and provide intensive support to help families tackle their issues and stay together. 83,000 young people in the UK are homeless every year. They find themselves with no support, no security and no stability.
The vital funds you raise will ensure all young people are given the future they deserve.
It is enormously inspiring to see so many people sleep out on a cold October night to support the homeless young people. I could never have imagined 20 years ago when I started this event that it would grow to such a significant fundraiser across the UK.
Before we send you out into the cold, we warm you up and celebrate all of the Byte Nighters' hard work fundraising throughout the year, with:
Silent and live auctions
Raffles
Quizzes
Q&A sessions
A chance to meet some of the young people your money helps
A fantastic opportunity to network and teambuild
We keep the nationwide Byte Night community connected throughout the night with our Twitter feed so that you can join the conversation using #ByteNight, and share your experiences and photos.
