Story

<p>Independent People support over 450 young people aged between 16-25 who have been deemed as "unintentionally homeless".</p> <p>Some of their stories are heartbreaking, but&nbsp;their spirit is inspiring!</p> <p>Many are lucky enough to have friends and family around at Christmas, but many are displaced and have no-one around.</p> <p>This means spending Christmas alone. No chance of cards or presents or "that Christmas feeling". So every year we have a big free Christmas party just for them. We are talking all the trimmings here. It may be the only one they get.</p> <p>We need donations for decorations, food,&nbsp;venue hire, entertainment and some small&nbsp;gifts.</p> <p>If we got a&nbsp;small donation&nbsp;from a lot of people, we could&nbsp;help create some good&nbsp;Christmas&nbsp;memories for&nbsp;some young people who are just starting to make&nbsp;their own way in life.</p> <p>Merry Christmas!</p>

Independent People provide housing, support and advice to homeless children and young adults in the SW. For some, we're all the support they've got. We're working in schools to prevent future homelessness. Our service works because young people help us run it. They need our support. We need yours.
