"My mental health got really bad. I developed really bad anxiety and I stopped going to college for a year. When I went into SASH, everything changed."
SASH is a registered charity preventing homelessness in young people aged 16 to 25 throughout North and East Yorkshire.
When young people are facing homelessness, we can offer a spare room in the home of a trained volunteer and support to move forward.
"My mental health got really bad. I developed really bad anxiety and I stopped going to college for a year. When I went into SASH, everything changed."
“Without SASH, you can’t begin to imagine what would happen to these young people.”
"Some of them want to sit and talk, others don’t. I just leave it up to them. If they want to be alone, they can be alone, if they want to be a part of my family, they can."
"It’s nice to be providing just that step along the road to help them to something better."
Putting a roof over a young person’s head solves the immediate problem, but young people who become homeless tend to have very complex issues. We need to solve these too if we are to prevent homelessness in the long term.
We work intensively with those we help, our hosts and a multitude of other agencies in order to achieve this.
There are lots of ways you can help. Find out how!
