👀 Spotted in the wild!

Remember those little cards we've been leaving around? Well, we've spotted one pinned up on the board at Green Park Station Market in Bath! 📍

It's all part of spreading the word about Sleep Out 2026, and we love seeing them pop up around the place.

Have you spotted one? Snap a pic and send it our way. You could see your photo featured on our socials and even win a prize! 🎁

And if you haven't scanned one yet, there's still time to get involved. Sleep Out is less than a month away! Join us on 5 November at Lloyds Amphitheatre in Bristol and help young people facing homelessness.

🏛️ Hard hats on, history explored!

Last Friday, our Heritage team visited Ashton Court Mansion with a group of young people, getting a behind-the-scenes look at this Grade I listed building with architect and trustee Nigel D**e.

From old spiral staircases and faded wallpaper to historic fireplaces and grand ballrooms, there was plenty to explore. The visit also gave us valuable insight into how the team at Ashton Court is bringing the building's story to life, as we begin planning the redevelopment of Kingsley Hall.

And the verdict from our young people? A 10/10! 🙌

A big thank you to Nigel and the Bristol Historic Buildings Trust for sharing their knowledge, stories and advice with us.

Watch this space as our own Kingsley Hall journey continues!

👀 Did you spot us in Millennium Square last week?

Our Sleep Out ad was playing on the big screen in the heart of Bristol, so we headed down as a team to see it for ourselves!

This World Homelessness Day, we're raising awareness of something that isn't always visible: youth homelessness.

Homelessness doesn't always mean sleeping rough. Many young people experience homelessness by sofa surfing, staying somewhere unsafe or having nowhere stable to call home.

That's why it's so important to challenge the myths around homelessness and recognise the different forms it can take.

If you're looking for a way to support young people facing homelessness in Bristol today, head to the link in our bio to find out more about our Sleep Out fundraiser.

🎭 A night of music, storytelling and finding your voice.

8 young people joined us at The Old Vic to see *BLAZE FM*, a powerful production exploring music, identity, criminalisation and the experiences of Black communities in Britain.

The show was described by our young people as:

💭“Real. Honest. Historical.” “Raw. Unfiltered. Thought-provoking.”

The following day, 3 young people took part in a confidence-building workshop with one of the actors, exploring their voices through music and performance.

One young person said the session:

💬 “Gave me the confidence to find my voice.”

Another shared that it was the first time they had sung or rapped in front of anyone, and that they felt safe and not judged.

A huge thank you to The Big House for generously donating tickets and creating these opportunities for our young people.

💙 Our 2025/26 Impact Report is here!

What a year it’s been.
Over the past year, we supported 1,982 young people across Bristol and beyond. Here are just some of the ways we made an impact:

🏡 Safe Homes – 91% of young people who approached us when they were homeless or at risk of homelessness were supported into accommodation.

📚 Education, Employment & Training – 80% of young people receiving our EET support moved into education, employment or training.

💚 Wellbeing & Healthy Relationships – 94% of young people in our wellbeing and engagement services improved their mental and physical health.

🗣️ Youth Voice – 137 young people took part in opportunities to influence our services, decisions and the wider systems around them.

Behind every number is a young person, their experiences and the progress they’ve made.

A huge thank you to our colleagues, volunteers, trustees, funders, donors, partners and supporters who make this work possible. And, most importantly, thank you to the young people we work alongside for trusting us, challenging us and helping shape what we do.

The realities of youth homelessness can be harsh.
As a community, it’s our responsibility to challenge the narrative and show up for young people facing some of the hardest times in their lives.

Help us change the narrative and raise vital funds on 5 November by sleeping out with us.
One night outside can help young people find safety, stability and a way forward.
