Hello, We are mentors from Talent Match LCR. In our roles we often come across young people that are having difficulties with finding suitable accommodation. We try and support them as much as we can within our remit, but unfortunately due to the current housing crisis, local councils are unable to accommodate all those in need of support leading to rough sleeping and unsuitable accommodation. In addition to this, the cost of living crisis is stretching our young people's finances, therefore even when they do have suitable tenancies they cannot afford to maintain them alongside rising rent, food and utility costs.

We are hoping to raise as much money as we can for Local Solutions. Their Big SleepOut raises critical funds to help them provide 24/7 shelter and support to youth overcoming homelessness.
