Please help us support ....
As October starts the nights are getting longer, colder and darker. The skies are grey and leaves are beginning to fall. We know Autumn is well and truly upon us. As you begin to dig out your winter coat once again, as you wrap up against the evening chill in the air and head home, remember that homelessness is still major problem here in the UK.
Last year, 1 in 4 children thought about running away and over half of them went through with it. Homelessness comes about due to a number of different and complex reasons and is often misunderstood. It could happen to anyone’s child, and that’s why I’m sleeping out on the city streets with Byte Night tonight again.
If that doesn't resonate, the following statistics thanks to the hard work and fund raising efforts of Action for Children are a great leap forward ......
- 70% of all children they work with improved their emotional wellbeing
- 79% of all children and young people are more able to achieve their educational potential
- 72% of children under 5 they work with are now reaching their developmental milestones
- 73% of children at risk of neglect have warmer more supportive relationships with their parent or carer (s)
- 74% of children at risk of neglect who they work with experience an improvement in family life due to improved routines
...... and they are worth it !!
Any support would be hugely appreciated no matter how small as we aim to raise as much money as possible to support Action for Children ......
