Story
In 2020-21, according to Centrepoint, 122,000 16-24 year olds were homeless or at risk of homelessness in the UK.
We want to end youth homelessness and we're tackling the problem locally by providing a home and support to almost 200 young people each night. This equates to over 50,000 safe nights accommodation each year. We help the young people we support to learn essential life skills, build their confidence and provide guidance with their training, education and careers. We also support them to maintain their own tenancies as they begin to forge independent lives.
Sleep Out is our annual fundraising event, raising over £280,000 since 2015 to support our charity's work.
"It's a night you'll never forget and you will help support such as great cause." Robert, Sleep Out participant 2018, 2019, 2021.
