Story

Homelessness can happen to anyone, at any time and for a young vulnerable person this can place them in a very unsafe place. I have been CEO here for over 10 years and feel as passionate about this as ever. 

Backup have supported young people that are homeless for 30 years and their experiences of rough sleeping before they find us are increasing. Every penny we raise helps prevent this.
