Bytes SP Team Sleeping Rough in Reading to Raise Funds and Awareness for Action for Children
Friday 15th July 2016
Bytes Security Partnerships are delighted to announce we will be sending a team of our staff to take part in Byte Night 2012's Thames Valley event, in aid of Action for Children. This year the charity event is hoping to reach the £5million mark in fundraising since its launch 12 years ago. We are aiming to help by raising at least £5,000 as a team and raise awareness of youth homelessness amongst our customers, colleagues, friends and family.

At least 75,000 children and young people experience homelessness each year, and of those, 1 in 3 will attempt suicide and 1 in 7 will be physically or sexually assaulted. Solving youth homelessness is about more than taking people off the streets.
