We are London Youth Gateway
Youth homelessness is at record levels in London and no one single organisation can solve this crisis alone. London Youth Gateway is a partnership of 7 voluntary organisations who have joined forces to advise young people facing homelessness across the city, ensuring the unique needs of those between the ages 18-25 are supported.
About
London Youth Gateway is a partnership between New Horizon Youth Centre, Depaul UK, Shelter, Stonewall Housing, akt, Galop and Praxis. We work together to make sure young adults are safe and supported while we help them to achieve long-term stability through housing, income, health and migration status issues.

Our Partnership
-
New Horizon Youth Centre
Through our day centre, outreach and remote services we help young Londoners with nowhere safe to go to improve their housing, safety, life skills and health.
For as long as young people are homeless and unsafe in London, we’ll be on a mission to give their potential a home.
-
Depaul UK
Depaul UK supports young people who have been homeless or are at risk of homelessness.
Every person we help has a unique situation and a unique set of needs, so we focus on the individual and offer tailored support.
-
Shelter
Home is a human right.
It's our foundation and it's where we thrive. Yet, every day millions of people are being devastated by the housing emergency.
We exist to defend the right to a safe home. Because home is everything.

Stonewall Housing

Praxis
Praxis is a charity for migrants and refugees. We give advice, provide support and campaign so that people are not defined by their immigration status and can live with safety, dignity and respect.
