The greatest gift you can give

By simply giving food, you are giving a young person the freedom they need to stop worrying about where their next meal is coming from, and the space to focus on building an independent future for themselves.

With the cost-of-living crisis biting hard this Christmas, it’s becoming more and more difficult for homeless young people to eat, let alone eat healthily. Our food vouchers are a chance to provide nutritious groceries and vital sustenance over the winter period.

Even a single session of counselling can be life-changing. Because when you buy a counselling session for a young person, you are helping to give them the vital support they need to recover from their past traumas.

We take basic things like soap, deodorant and toothpaste for granted. But living on the streets, sofa surfing or sleeping on a night bus can make it hard for a young person to take care of their basic hygiene.
