We exist for young people (18-25) who are facing homelessness or rough sleeping. You don’t have to be on the streets to get our support. Perhaps you’re staying with friends or you could be unsafe where you are. Or maybe you can’t live with your family anymore or they don’t accept who you are. Or you might have somewhere to live but are struggling to cope with the landlord or bills. We know that there are many reasons why young people don’t have or could lose a safe place to stay, so don’t wait to get in touch with us.
We realise that it can be hard to find the support you want. This is why we will also help you if you have already approached your council or another organisation.
