St Basils works with young people to enable them to find and keep a home, grow their confidence, develop their skills, increase opportunities and prevent homelessness.
Find Out MoreIt’s a really tough time at the moment for everyone as we respond to the challenges presented by Coronavirus. We want to assure you that our priority and focus is on preventing and responding to youth homelessness in the West Midlands. And whilst some of the ways we help may have to adapt, you can be sure that at the heart of everything we do, will be the health and wellbeing of the young people who need our support and the colleagues who provide it.
We have already put in a raft of measures to make sure we can carry on functioning as normally as possible. Some of these measures are outlined here.
St Basils houses almost 500 young people every single night. We’re short of £5 a day per young person staying in one of our projects. That £5 will assist in supporting each young person out of homelessness and transform their life.
Coronavirus or not, our work continues, regardless. If you can afford to help us, please donate now.
We have now refreshed the national Positive Pathway frameworks, advising on preventing youth homelessness, the youth justice accommodation pathway and on assisting care leavers.
