" If we all do our bit and give homeless young people meaningful opportunities, they can overcome their dire circumstances and stand on their own two feet."
End Youth Homelessness is the first UK-wide network of local charities focused on tackling youth homelessness. Targeting housing, health, work and prevention, End Youth Homelessness provides a national platform to raise awareness, share experience and generate voluntary income. Each year its member charities house and support more than 26,000 young people facing homelessness.
Mortgage Sleep Out will take place on 30th November 2018, with a series of locally organised #MortgageSleepOut events across the UK. Businesses and individuals can register to take part and run their own events at www.mortgagesleepout.com.
Participants can also set up their own fundraising page and start raising money by visiting www.justgiving.com/campaign/mortgagesleepout.
Nick Connolly, managing director of End Youth Homelessness, said: “The Mortgage Sleep Out is a brilliant idea. It recognises that youth homelessness can end. If we all do our bit and give homeless young people meaningful opportunities, they can overcome their dire circumstances and stand on their own two feet.
“We are incredibly grateful that Rob Jupp, his colleagues and the mortgage industry have decided to help end youth homelessness. We can do this!”
