Story

The DownsLink Challenge is back by popular demand! On Saturday 15th July 2023 join us by taking part in the 17.5-mile walk along the Downs Link Pathway (which is what we're named after!) from Horsham to Shoreham-by-Sea and help us put young people experiencing homelessness back on the path to independence.

What we do: We prevent youth homelessness through accommodation, support and advice. Every night we provide a safe home to over 750 young people in your community. Each and every one has faced serious challenges in their lives. No young person chooses to be homeless.

Why take part? Do it alone or in a group, we guarantee you'll have a great day all in aid of ending youth homelessness by helping us ensure all young people living with us or being supported by us move on positively and independently, forever.
