Boycott your Bed: Wales

On Friday 4th October 2024, the Boycott your Bed Wales event will take place at Headlands School in Penarth, near Cardiff.

It’s time to get your colleagues together. Create a dream team. And take on the challenge of sleeping out.

4.3 million children now live in poverty in the UK and 29% of children in Wales live in poverty.

Tonight, many will go to bed hungry. Struggle to sleep in a cold, damp house, and start the next day without a warm coat or shoes that fit.

For over 25 years, our supporters have raised an incredible £13.9 million by giving up their bed for a night.

Take on the challenge of sleeping out and help more vulnerable children to have a safe and happy childhood.

On the night, sleeper teams will kick-off the evening at our reception with networking, entertainment, food and refreshments before making their way to the all-weather football pitch to sleep under the stars. You may even receive a visit by the resident alpacas during the night.

More details about the event will be released soon so make sure you’re signed up to get the latest news.

We are so excited to be hosting Boycott Your Bed Wales at Action for Children’s Headland’s School. At this unique venue, you'll be surrounded by history and the exceptionally forward thinking, innovative services we deliver.
