Our 2022-23 impact
With youth homelessness increasing last year and young people bearing the brunt of the cost of the economic downturn, our work is more vital than ever. Download our impact report here.
Over the last year:
Reached more young people
We increased our reach and impact significantly this year. We supported 167 young people through The Settle Programme which is the most we’ve supported in our history and a 16% increase from the previous year.
Helped young people manage their tenancies
While 97% of Programme graduates have sustained their tenancies this year, 92% feel more in control of their lives and those in rent arrears have reduced their arrears by an average of £959.
Delivered our support offer
We also significantly increased the amount of direct financial and mental health support we provided to young people to support them through the Cost of Living Crisis. We provided £25,949 of emergency grants for young people and mental health support through therapeutic counselling which is a 113% increase on the last year.
Offered consistent support
We delivered 1403 hours of 1:1 support, with an average of 5.6 months spent on the Programme per young person. This is an 18% increase in hours delivered compared with the previous year (1192 hours in 2021/22).
