25% of all homeless people in Scotland are between the ages of 16 and 25 - a shocking statistic, with many young people facing uncertainty and worry, whether sleeping rough, on sofas or in hostels. Covid-19 is also creating more risk to young people than ever before. At the Foyer we aim to put an end to youth homelessness in the North East and we provide a range of support services to tackle this issue. In recent years we've supported organised Sleep Outs to raise awareness and much needed funds to help tackle youth homelessness. Given the restrictions we face this year on large social gatherings, we've taken a different approach, and in partnership with End Youth Homelessness, we're championing a STAY:UP challenge that will run from 8pm on Friday 9th October until 8am on Saturday 10th October.
