YES partner with CEO Sleepout because we both share the same mission, to support vulnerable people in our communities, helping them receive the opportunities they need to engage in society.

YES focus specifically on supporting London’s young people who are growing up in violent and unsafe communities, who are disengaged from sport and education and lack good role models or people to turn to for help. Through opportunities in sport, young people become engaged and empowered, and their confidence, resilience, and health improve which resonates through their lives. Their time is taken up at their sports clubs and they are protected from the unsafe streets on which they live.

YES’s approach is centred on prevention, helping young people stay on the right pathway in life so they never have to face such challenges as involvement in crime and antisocial behaviour or in situations such as homelessness.
