The continued support of the Gala on the Green annual event makes a life-changing difference to the young people supported by Depaul UK.

For the past 30 years, Depaul UK has supported some of the most marginalised and vulnerable young people to progress from chaos and homelessness to stability and independence. Young people supported by Depaul UK find themselves facing homelessness due to a variety of personal and societal factors, but the majority are at crisis point due to family breakdown – 61% of Nightstop users in 2018 accessed the service for this reason.

Wherever possible, Depaul will endeavour to ensure young people can return home. If not, we work collaboratively with young people, equipping them with the necessary skills to live and thrive independently. In 2018 alone we worked with more than 3,000 young people to support them in avoiding or escaping homelessness.

Depaul’s emergency and preventative services help young people experiencing homelessness at every stage of their journey, from early intervention work in schools and colleges, to family mediation, housing support or longer-term supported accommodation.
