Jemima turned her challenges at home into an opportunity for independence with the support of EveryYouth's Future Builders, finding work, training, and a place to call home.
Impact
EveryYouth is a small organisation with a big impact. We work with brilliant front-line organisations to break down barriers for young people experiencing homelessness.
Our solutions are simple and scalable but their impact is profound. Youth homelessness is a complex issue, but our experience revealed that most young people need help in three ways: health, employability and housing. We focus our interventions in these key areas.
impact
Typically, young people experiencing homelessness:
- lack the support of a family network.
- live in poverty (Universal Credit for under 25’s equates to less than £10/day!)
- suffer with complex mental health issues caused by childhood trauma.
EveryYouth addresses these challenges head on. We:
- fund staff to help young people set and achieve goals.
- provide cash Boosts to overcome financial barriers to achieving those goals.
- make mental health support available in weeks not months (or years)
