National data reports deterioration in the mental health of young people in lockdown.

This is particularly linked to increased loneliness and anxiety - problems amplified by the disruption COVID has caused in education and employment alongside rising debts and the very real threat of youth homelessness.

Did you know that Oxford has one of the highest rates of death amongst homeless people in the country?
