Ensure no young person is left out

No Young Person Left Out

No young person should be left without support when facing homelessness. Join our campaign to ensure there’s No Young Person Left Out.

Campaign with us

Every year, thousands of young people facing homelessness turn to their local council for help. But for one in three, the door is shut before help even begins. 

That's thousands of young people denied safety, stability and support.

Because right now, councils are stretched to breaking point. Years of underfunding and rising need have forced them into difficult decisions. And when the system buckles, it’s young people who pay the price.

But it doesn’t have to be this way. When we speak out together, we can fix this broken system and make sure no young person is turned away when they ask for help.

Every year, thousands of young people are left to face homelessness alone without the support they need. Since last year, youth homelessness has increased by 10% - meaning 1 in every 62 young people face homelessness.  

We need as many people as possible to tell the UK Government that no young person should be left out from the support they deserve. Join us as we call on the UK Government for:  

  • Ring-fenced funding from central government to give councils the resources they need to support young people facing homelessness.  
  • Rewriting the Homelessness Code of Guidance so it includes a section on young people.  
  • The government to make sure councils follow the Homelessness Reduction Act – and act when they do not.
