On the Thursday 27 February, I will (once again!) be braving one night out outside, to help support St Bail's in their work to prevent young people from facing the same prospect, every night.

This year, around 86,000 young people in the UK will be homeless. But what does that really mean? Homelessness is more than just sleeping on the streets. While this can be the most dangerous, and most visible, form of homelessness, it is just the tip of the iceberg. Homelessness means not having a place to call home a place that is private, secure, decent and affordable and where you have a right to stay.
