Sleep out
On the night, there's a reception, where you can meet some of the young people we've helped, along with an auction and entertainment. Check out the photo's from last year.

Feel great!
We're extremely proud that every single penny you raise will go directly to Action for Children. Find out what that really means to some of the young people that we've helped.

This will be my 10th Byte Night so to mark it I thought I'd get back in contact with everyone that's slept out with me before. You can see what they thought of it in the panel opposite.
Each has been memorable in it's own way, from the small group that slept in Finsbury Square in 2002, to the 750 people that participated around the country last year.
What doesn't change is the humbling feeling when you hear the stories of the people we are helping. That and the dedication of the Action for Children team who look after some of the most vulnerable young people in the country.
It's staggering that there are still 100,000 young people every year sleeping rough with nobody to look after them. Staggering and shocking.
Join us this year and make a difference. We'll be here for as long as it takes...
People I've slept with
- Mike has supported Byte Night for a decade. He has also supported many other sleepers and fund-raisers over the years - people like me, in fact - meaning a tremendous cumulative effort, worth backing again in 2013.
