“Byte Night is a fantastic fundraiser aiming to raise over £600k this year to support Action for Children’s crucial work with homeless young people. It’s wonderful to see so many busy business people giving up their precious time to help make Byte Night such a huge success.

More sleepers are always needed - to find out more, log on to www.bytenight.org.uk

You can really help Action for Children change these young people’s lives”

Ben Fogle, Presenter

TV presenter Ben Fogle wishes well to everyone sleeping out at Byte Night. The intrepid adventurer, who has raced across the Sahara, rowed the Atlantic and crossed Antarctica on foot, has a useful tip from his own experiences!

“Good luck to all the sleepers at Byte Night. Having spent many nights sleeping out myself - my advice to you is don’t forget a hat!”

Jenny Agutter, Actress & Byte Night Ambassador

Jenny Agutter has again pledged to support Byte Night for an amazing 11th time to help raise funds for young homeless people and increase awareness about child neglect.

“I feel it’s the least I can do to help raise much needed funds, and profile, for young homeless people. One night can be uncomfortable, particularly if it’s cold and wet, but I can go home afterwards to a warm and comfortable home. Sadly, young homeless people don’t have this luxury and have to sleep out, night after night, in bad weather and often in dangerous locations”
