> £1241(donation amount)) this year to Action for Children.
> Colin said, “Being involved for a while with Action for Children, I’ve got to

> Byte Night is Action for Children's biggest annual fundraiser; a national
> ‘sleep-out’ event. Each year, hundreds of like-minded people from the
> technology and business arena give up their beds for one night to help change
> the lives of vulnerable young people. It all began in 1998 when 30
> individuals slept out in London and raised £35,000. Since then Byte Night has
> grown to 10 UK locations and over 1,200 people slept out in 2016. Byte Night
> is one of the UK’s top 17 mass participation charity events and is the
> largest charity sleep-out having raised over £9.6 million since the first
> event. Byte Night is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year and its fifth
> year in the North West.
> Colin is a board member of the North West Byte Night event.
> BT Volunteering is a very worthwhile endeavour.
