This spring term, we are supporting Herts Young Homeless www.hyh.org.uk

The children will raise money through their participation in our 'I use Technology Wisely' House Day on Friday 11th February and if they take part in the Indoor Challenge on Saturday 5th March. Additionally, we will be supporting this amazing charity through other events, one of which involves an intrepid member of staff, more to be revealed later in the term...

From Herts Young Homeless:

hyh has a variety of FREE services open to all 16 – 24 year olds who are homeless or threatened with homelessness. We also have a Health Service which has no upper age limit.

hyh is an independent charity and has been supporting vulnerable people in Hertfordshire since 1998.

Our experience has enabled us to develop mediation, education and other specialist prevention services with the purpose of avoiding the misery of a breakdown in family relationships.

Of course, this is not always possible and in those cases we aim to help the young people affected through advice, support and other associated services.

Homelessness can lead to, and indeed result from, issues of drug and alcohol dependency and poor mental health. Our experts in these areas work with people of all ages to support them in overcoming these challenges.

We work with closely with Herts County Council, local district councils and other agencies to improve local provision and prevent youth homelessness.
