1625 Independent People, a Bristol-based charity, has been supporting homeless 16-25 year olds for over 30 years. We work with around 2,500 young people in the South West every year. We help them to reboot their lives through temporary housing, access to counselling, independent living skills, confidence building, education, training, finding jobs and fun.

On Wednesday 15 November, Trinity Centre on Old Market will become our home for the night. Around 150 people will bed down for the night, with just a sleeping bag and protective sheet on the ground. 

This is not about pretending to be homeless! It’s about raising awareness about the issues our young people are facing.
