Head of Yorkshire and North East Region

Every day of every year, thousands of young people in the UK find themselves homeless. Many are forced to sleep in overcrowded hostels, in cheap B&Bs, or worse still, on the streets.Yet homelessness isn’t inevitable. It’s a problem that can be solved. With the right support services and secure accommodation, we can prevent young people from becoming homeless and protect those who are. Unfortunately, it’s not that simple. Rising rents and reductions in benefit payments have had a negative impact on the country’s most vulnerable young people and organisations delivering critical services are struggling with an increase in demand. They desperately need investment to reach more young people.That’s why we’re here. We bring together remarkable businesses and individuals from across the property industry to support projects that deliver life-changing services to young people facing homelessness.We help to protect young people on the streets, provide accommodation and training and tackle the root causes of homelessness.
