Delighted to announce next APPG meeting on 5th March 6.30pm - 8pm. Please sign up. We are excited to talk about youth voice ahead of the general election 👇campaigns.ymca.org.uk/page/143139/da…

Huge thanks to APPG Chair Jo Gideon MP for leading an inspiring and thought provoking discussion on youth homelessness alongside the panel.

Many thanks to Lloyd Russell-Moyle MP🌹🏳️‍🌈 for joining the discussion and sharing his views and expertise on homelessness.

We were lucky to be joined by Centrepoint who shared their recent research which estimated the total annual cost of homeless young people amounts to £8.5billion, £27,347 for each young homeless person, equivalent to the average salary of a police officer.

We were incredibly grateful to hear from New Horizon Youth Centre sharing their concerns about the increase in youth homelessness ahead of the winter.

A huge thank you to all the young people who joined the APPG last night, many shared their own experiences of youth homelessness and their own ideas on how to improve their experiences.

We hope you can join us to talk about Youth Homelessness on Tuesday 28th November 6.30pm - 8pm in committee room 14, House of Commons. Please sign up below👇
