I'm taking part in the Castle to Abbey Coastal Challenge to raise vital funds for SASH.

SASH is a local charity based in York that works to prevent homelessness in young people aged 16-25 across York, North Yorkshire and East Yorkshire. They do this by providing accommodation through a network of hosts, who are ordinary families with a spare room and want to help.

SASH works with young people to ensure that a time of crisis in their lives does not lead to the beginning of a cycle of homelessness, unemployment and benefit dependence. For many of our young people, a host family provides the supportive environment they need to begin to get things back on track. You can find out more about their work on their website https://www.sash-uk.org.uk/
