The Super SASH Bros have officially begun training... 🚣‍♂️🍄

We're excited to announce that SASH will be taking part in this year's York Dragon Boat Race on Sunday 12th July!

Last week, our team took to the water (meeting room) ahead of the race to get some practice in.

SASH's boat is Super Mario-themed and we've already spotted a Princess Peach costume making an appearance.

If you're heading to the Dragon Boat Race in July, come and say hello to the SASH team and cheer on the Super SASH Bros as they take on the river.

It's Volunteers Week and we'd like to say thank you to the people who give their time to support SASH.

From hosts opening their homes to young people, to volunteers helping at our events and our Trustees helping to guide the charity, so many people play a part in making SASH what it is.

Every safe night, every fundraising event and every opportunity we can offer young people is made possible by people choosing to get involved and support our work.

Thank you to all of our volunteers for everything you do.

We are always looking for new volunteers! Enquire today by emailing us at [email protected] 💚

As we near the end of , we wanted to share Ollie's journey with SASH.

When Ollie first came to us, he was going through one of the most difficult periods of his life. But with the support of his hosts and SASH staff, things slowly began to change.

He told us “I’m happy. I feel positive. I prefer to not look at the negative side anymore.”

This week, we’ve been reflecting on how important human support can be for mental wellbeing.

Thanks to his hard work and the support around him, Ollie now lives independently and is thriving. 💚

To continue , we're sharing some of the mental health wins our young people have experienced during their time with SASH.

Meet Marshall, a former young person who is now thriving and living independently.

While staying with SASH, Marshall accessed life coaching, which he says “helped me come out of my comfort zone and realise things [from my past] that I didn’t understand before. Life coaching has helped me find focus and also helped me to understand my emotions.”

This Mental Health Awareness Week, we’re recognising how important it is for young people to feel listened to, supported and understood, and it’s incredibly rewarding to hear how the right support made such a lasting difference to Marshall. 💚
