Story

Bolton Young Persons Housing Scheme is organising it's second Charity Sleep Out in Bolton on Friday 21st April.  

Our volunteer fundraisers known as 'sleepers' will spend the evening from 7pm to 7am in sleeping bags in a designated car park.

The aim is to raise awareness of homeless people and to also raise funds for Bolton Young Persons Housing Scheme.

Boltony Young Persons Housing Scheme est. 1992, provides supported accommodation for homeless young people aged 16-25 years.  The aim of the organisation is to prevent homlessness amongst young people and to enable independent living.  We do this by offering tailor made packages of support and accommodation which best match the young person's requirements.  Based across Bolton we have 6 residential services and a mentoring scheme.

Every penny you give us keeps a vital service open. This year it will ensure Castle House stays open at weekends and young homeless people are looked after, safe, fed and cared for through the day and not exposed to exploitation, risk or the elements. This is only for 16 and 17 year olds experiencing homelessness.
