Nearly 1,000 people slept rough in London on a single night in Autumn 2016, according to government figures - it's more than doubled in the last five years. QPR Community Trust and YMCA West London  tackle the downward spiral of no job leading to homelessness for two very vulnerable groups.

QPR Work Force helps ex-service personnel get closer to employment. QPR Community Trust's Education & Employability Officer, Jack Kelley, said:

" Many bear the hidden wounds sustained on the battlefield after fighting for our country, and much of the programme focuses on emotional support to move forward from this. We have good links with local employers too."

For a young person with no qualifications or family support, chances of getting and keeping a job are minimal. 16-25 year olds with no job may find themselves sleeping rough. Funds raised will enable YMCA West London's Employability programme to give more young people the tools and support they need to break the no job, no home cycle.
