Story
The Dispersed Housing team from 1625 Independent People (plus their friends and family) are taking part in this years Sleep Out event, raising vital funds for an amazing charity.
Saffi, Anne-Marie, Ben, Macauley, Sian, Laiya, Will and Anna will be braving the cold and sleeping outside at Bristol Amphitheater for the night.
Did you know that in the UK, between April 2021 and March 2022, 129,000* young people approached their local council as they were homeless or at risk of homelessness? After assessment, only 9%* of those young people were provided with housing. On Thursday 2nd November 2023, I will be giving up my bed for one night to help raise awareness of youth homelessness and to support 1625 with the vital services they provide to the young people of Bristol and the South West who are homeless or at risk of homelessness.Any donation you can provide will be much appreciated.Thank you.*The Youth Homelessness Databank 2022
