Homelessness is on the rise – national figures suggest that over 90,000 children are now living in temporary accommodation after being made homeless (Sept 2015). Bath is no exception. Charities such as Genesis Trust and Bath YFC are at the forefront of supporting young homeless people in the city.

So to raise money we are challenging members of Pathfinders and CYFA to experience what it is like to be homeless for one night with no luxuries or items we take for granted - a warm bed, a home-cooked dinner and a roof over their head. We will build a shelter in the church grounds and provide a meal similar to that available at the soup run.
