This campaign has now closed
Amber is raising the funds that will pay for a temporary home and an intensive programme of support for 24 young homeless people this winter. Across our 3 centres, we will not only provide a safe place to live and 3 meals a day - our support will help young people move on to a positive future.

Situation
The young people that Amber supports are homeless and unemployed. There are many reasons why young people become homeless - family breakdown, leaving care, childhood trauma, mental ill-health, addiction, prison release, losing a job. Sometimes people make bad decisions, and because they lack a network of support, things can go quickly and drastically wrong.
Solution
We provide a temporary home and a safe place to live - this appeal aims to raise enough to support 24 young people through the winter months. But our support is not just a temporary fix - the young people that we help participate in our intensive programme that helps them address what is holding them back so that when they leave Amber, they do so into a job or into education/training and sustainable and appropriate accommodation.
