Join us at Byte Night, wherever you are!

Whether you are joining us at Byte Night this year or have friends, family or colleagues sleeping out, you can take part through our live message board!  Developed with the help of BT, the message boards will include photos taken on the night and will share the experience of sleepers at all five Byte Night events. 

How it works

All Byte Night events will be displaying live message boards broadcasting messages from taking part as well as photos of their experience. We'd like as many people as possible to contribute, sharing personal thoughts and experiences which help raise awareness of the young people Action for Children support.
