On Wednesday this week, our CEO Hannah met Homeless Link’s Kate Alaway at the Next Step Project. There were big smiles as they discussed something no one should smile about: youth homelessness.Did you know there’s 22% more youth homelessness in Aylesbury Vale than the national average? Young people don’t sleep rough. They’re not safe. Instead they sofa surf, sleep in cars and tuck themselves away. Click here to read our research into local youth homelessness.
As a local charity, having the backing of a national like Homeless Link means Youth Concern can access support, training and networking.
