Help a young person this Christmas
261 young people are currently homeless and living in temporary accommodation in Devon, Plymouth and Torbay.
Many young people experiencing homelessness are also not captured in official figures, including those sofa surfing, moving between friends and family, or living in unsafe and unstable situations.
At Young Devon, we support over 5,000 young people every year. Many face multiple, overlapping challenges.
Homelessness is about more than having a roof over your head. It can affect a young person’s wellbeing, education, relationships and hopes for the future.
This Christmas, you can help us be there for young people when they need us most, offering support, stability and the chance of a brighter future. Source.
