Working out your next step can feel overwhelming, especially when things haven’t gone as planned.

BYHP offers one-to-one support for young people who are NEET and need a bit of help moving towards employment or training.

That might mean building confidence, exploring different options, improving social skills or getting ready for work. We take time to understand each young person and what they need help with.

If this sounds like something you, your child or a young person you work with could benefit from, visit our website to find out more or make a referral.

A huge thank you to the WI group in Barford St Michael for welcoming Dani and Linda last night! 🩵

It was lovely to talk about BYHP, the support we offer young people and their families, and the work we do to tackle the root causes of youth homelessness.

The group also organised a collection for us and arranged a raffle to raise money for us, and we’re so grateful for all the wonderful items donated. Your kindness and generosity will help us support the people who use our services.

Thank you for having us and for supporting BYHP! 💛

A heartfelt thank you to St. James’s Place Charitable Foundation for their ongoing, long-term support of BYHP.

Their latest grant of £27,500 supports our counselling service, helping us provide young people with a safe space to talk, feel heard and work through the challenges they face.

Over the years, the Foundation’s generosity across our services has helped us continue our mission of tackling the root causes of youth homelessness. We are grateful for their continued confidence in our work and to the BYHP trustee whose involvement helps make this support possible.

Thank you for supporting young people and families in our community.

A huge thank you to The Wool Pack for the lovely blankets and hats they kindly donated to BYHP! 🩵

The group spent weeks knitting a wonderful variety of items, which will support our clients, be used as raffle prizes and add a cosy touch to our therapy rooms.

Thank you for your time, care and generosity, we’re so grateful for your support!

Hello! Since we had such an amazing response last time we reached out to the Banbury community for help, we thought we would share our amazon wish-list in case anyone would like to support us this way!
There are a range of items for our food bank, client sessions, our homeless clients and general office use 💛

Thankyou :)

🐾 A safe place to stay shouldn’t mean leaving a beloved pet behind.

For someone experiencing homelessness, a pet can provide comfort, companionship and a sense of stability during an incredibly difficult time. Yet restrictions in temporary and emergency accommodation can force people to face this heartbreaking choice.

The Big Issue is calling on the government to make temporary and emergency accommodation pet-friendly by default.

No one should have to choose between their pet and a safe place to sleep. Sign Big Issue's petition to make transitional and social housing pet-friendly by default.

We’re often mistaken for “Banbury Young Homelessness Project”, as this is what we were previously known as. We are simply BYHP now, it doesn’t stand for anything!

Our mission is to tackle the root causes of youth homelessness by supporting young people aged 13–25 and their families through preventative services.

It’s important to know that we do not provide accommodation. Instead, we offer support designed to prevent the circumstances that can lead to youth homelessness, including housing advice, family mediation and counselling.

Visit https://www.byhp.org.uk/ to explore our full range of services.

If you or a young person you know could benefit from our support, please get in touch.
