On Wednesday we had a visit from a member of Herts Young Homeless, Sarah Manzie.

The anti-bullying ambassadors were able to hear about some of the amazing life changing work that is undertaken by the scheme now based in Hatfield.

For example: finding accomodation, keeping adults and children safe, mediating with families to repair relationships, offering counselling, working with children’s services, finding employment and giving general advice and support.

Homelessness in the UK

At least 354,000 people, including 161,500 children, will be homeless at Christmas. This includes 326,000 people in temporary accommodation, 3,900 rough sleepers, and 16,600 in hostels or other homeless accommodation.   That is why the work of hyh is so vital.

A check of £100.00 was given to Sarah from money raised by the ambassadors during a cake sale.  A small but important contribution for the charity.

Congratulations to all for donating to such a worthy cause.
