Story

Join Amber for the second Hike the Hill, and walk to transform the lives of young people who have faced homelessness.

Together, we will be funding a bed space at Farm Place in Ockley, so a young homeless person can get the support they need to transform their lives and move forward into independent housing and into employment or education. You could help someone like Martin:

Martin arrived at Farm Place last summer, after sofa surfing in Basingstoke. He had run out of options and had nowhere else to go. Amber provided the safe haven Martin needed, when he was at his lowest.

Since being at Amber, Martin has become more self-aware and instilling better boundaries with people. He has become more open and tolerant with others due to sharing Farm Place with other young homeless people. He has particularly found the support of Team Leaders has given him good grounding: “They go above and beyond for people, it shows they care. The Team Leaders at Amber have really supported me.”

Martin’s goal is to work in politics or with prison reform, as well as live a healthy lifestyle. “Amber has given me a positive outlook on life. The structure is good and the routine helped put my life back on track.”

Register for Hike the Hill with £20 to receive your free Amber t-shirt for the walk. And if you register before 29th February 2024, you will be entered into a prize draw to win a goodie bag!
