Story

 

My Challenge

Our service users have set me a challenge and I could not refuse. The challenge although issued in anger was thought provoking:

“Why don’t you try living in one of these flats and see how easy it is.....?”

 

I thought ok then, I will. I am going to live in one of our own homeless flats  for 5 days in February 2014 to experience some of the challenges our young people face each day. 

 

Support me

 

We are a Charity funded by grants and donations, and it costs £4k per day to run all our services, that’s £40 a day for each person we support.  Please sponsor me and make a difference to a young person’s life.
