Homeless Outreach Teams

Helping teenagers & young adults find a place to live…

Housing is a basic human right, yet thousands of children and young people are homeless, or facing homelessness in Britain today.

We work with young people who are homeless and those living in places that aren't safe or don't have a proper tenancy. We help them get somewhere to live that's right for them, and we support them in their tenancies.

Our outreach teams on the streets actively look for homeless young people. We provide a friendly ear as well as referring them to the right people and organisations who can help them

We also carry out preventative work against homelessness with children and young people leaving the care system, to help set them up in supported lodgings in safe family homes where they can learn skills ranging from learning to cook and complete housework, to finding further education and training.

“If I hadn’t come to Barnardo’s, I think I would still be homeless today. Barnardo’s has really changed my life. There was a time when I didn’t feel things could get better. The workers at Barnardo’s believed in me and helped me to see that things would improve and with the right support, I could make something of my life. They helped me to get back on my feet and see a way forward.” - Aamira, young homeless person.

Aamira is now studying sciences at university and volunteers for the Barnardo’s service that supported her. She is also an ambassador for young people’s mental health services within the NHS and a hospital volunteer.
