The team will be joining hundreds of IT professionals across the UK for Byte Night.
The company’s UK Director, Jose Alfonso, says the team needs to raise at least £3,000 before the event on 8 October.
UniNet says that Byte Night is the single biggest fundraising event for Action for Children. Last year, the event raised over £500,000.
Alfonso will be joined by Gabriella Munn, April Jewkes and Brano Fajcik to raise money to help Action for Children tackle the root causes of youth homelessness.
Statistics show that each year, at least 75,000 children and young people experience homelessness. One in three attempt suicide and one in seven young runaways are physically or sexually assaulted (this figure rises to almost one in two after a week).
Action for Children says it works with children and their families giving them the skills and tools to lead fulfilling, positive lives.
This is the first year Alfonso and the team will take part in Byte Night. He said: “My wife introduced me to the charity when she took part last year. I’ve never even camped out. But if it means we can raise the money to help just one child, I’m sure I can do without my bed for one night.”
