Former Dragons' Den panellist and businessman Richard Farleigh has been announced as the latest ambassador for Action for Children, and will take part in the charity's fundraising event, Byte Night, in October by sleeping rough for the night in London, and raising vital funds for community-based services.

Farleigh, who was fostered as a child, commented 'I know from experience that the right support can transform a child's life. Action for Children helps children and young people to reach their potential even if life has put barriers in their way. I am proud to become their newest ambassador, and I'm excited to be involved in its essential work to give children and young people the support they need'.
