1625 Independent People supports young people to thrive. We prevent homelessness, keep young people safe and provide housing, support and opportunities to build independent lives. Together, we help young people overcome challenges, achieve their goals and influence the world around them.

Story

<p>Independent People support over 450 young people aged between 16-25 who have been deemed as "unintentionally homeless".</p> <p>Some of their stories are heartbreaking, but&nbsp;their spirit is inspiring!</p> <p>Many are lucky enough to have friends and family around at Christmas, but many are displaced and have no-one around.</p> <p>This means spending Christmas alone. No chance of cards or presents or "that Christmas feeling". So every year we have a big free Christmas party just for them. We are talking all the trimmings here. It may be the only one they get.</p> <p>We need donations for decorations, food,&nbsp;venue hire, entertainment and some small&nbsp;gifts.</p> <p>If we got a&nbsp;small donation&nbsp;from a lot of people, we could&nbsp;help create some good&nbsp;Christmas&nbsp;memories for&nbsp;some young people who are just starting to make&nbsp;their own way in life.</p> <p>Merry Christmas!</p>
