Story

Imagine a young person facing the harsh realities of winter – high energy bills, and difficult choices between food, rent and heating. Now, imagine a warm and welcoming space offering nutritious, pre-prepared meals. This is the vision behind our Nourish, Connect, Support Programme @ Bardsley Youth Project. We want you to be a part of it! 

This year, we have the opportunity to expand our services by providing healthy pre-prepared meals. We are fortunate enough to have been offered a reduced charity rate of £5 per meal by a local food preparation company. But we need your help. Across the warm hub’s running period (October – May) , we need 600 meals to support our vulnerable young people.

How can you help?

Share the news of our project with any businesses you think might be interested in joining us to provide meals to vulnerable young people in Coventry this winter. 

What's in it for you?

We’re active in the Coventry community on social media. If you help out, we shout about it!

We can provide you with a receipt for your donation for tax purposes.

We plan to go to the press to raise awareness of the project and those involved. If you want to be involved let us know!

We can support you in publicising your donation too! It's a great way to draw attention to your business with the Christmas period fast approaching.

We're appealing to businesses to help make this a reality. For more information please contact rachel@bardsleyyouth.org

RCN 1152836
We work with young people aged 16-25 in Coventry during housing crises. We also work with those at risk of homelessness to find, secure, keep, equip and maintain accomodation. Our service users are sometimes street homeless, or living in temporary hostel accomodation. However, the majority of them are classed as 'hidden homeless'. Hidden homeless is sometimes referred to as 'sofa surfing' When young people join us they have access to 1:1 support sessions ( for help with applying for and navigating things like home finder, benefits, council tax, DWP, and other support services such as mental health services ) with their own dedicated support worker, relaxed drop-in sessions for support and social activities such as pool, access to our food bank, clothes bank, furniture bank. We also help young people move into their own independent accomodation if they cannot afford removal services.
