Homelessness can happen at any time and to anyone. And when it happens to a young person it can affect them for the rest of their life. At least 83,000 young people in the UK are homeless right now and, with homeless young people almost twice as likely to die as their non-homeless peers, there is an urgent need to push for change.
We believe that running builds resilience, confidence and self-esteem and use this to improve the lives of 16-25 year-olds who are homeless or at risk of homelessness.
We know that running builds the fitness and goal-setting mentality that are key tools to help these young people to build healthy sustainable futures. And develop and deliver personalised programmes to support some of the most vulnerable young people in London and Manchester.
We deliver running and personal development programmes to young people impacted by homelessness. Combining physical activity and traditional youth/key work support we aim to ensure that young people have the tools to progress with their livesĀ
