Never give up on young people
It’s a shocking truth that 1 in 52 young people are homeless, or at risk of homelessness in the UK today.
Tonight, hundreds more young people are in danger on our streets. They’re a prime target for grooming, exploitation and criminal gangs. Then there is the mental toll that homelessness takes on young minds, with many suffering from sleep deprivation, depression and anxiety. Some turn to drugs to cope with the grim reality.
Your gift today could support a young person so that their setbacks don’t hold them back forever.
Ending youth homelessness
According to our research, almost 136,000 young people asked for help with homelessness last year - this needs to change. Find out how you can support our charity - and be part of our movement to end youth homelessness for good.
