Alone In London

A survey in London has shone a light on students who are couch-surfing or in emergency accommodation.

Dramatic statistics that we should take seriously: "In the UK the proportion of children and teenagers aged 19 and under taking antidepressants rose from 0.7% to 1.1%"

Numbers 3, 4 and 6 are our favourite facts!
As Londoners we support all Europe teams and our charity sweepstake today has proven that too! :)

Bigotry - intolerance towards those who hold different opinions from oneself.

We need to offer easy, fair and local access to Mental Health services, Guardian says. We are doing just that with our Mind Connect service, where hundreds of young people find it easy to talk to our counsellors about their mental well-being concerns in a safe environment.

"London’s households are spending more than they ever have to keep a roof over their heads."

“Your happiness has no price. It cannot be bought. It is not an app that you can download on your phones, nor will the latest update bring you freedom and grandeur in love,” - a universal message from Pope Francis.

Thank you to our #LondonMarathon runners who raised an incredible £25,600 for young people in London.
We had a blast supporting you!

"Young lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people have long been over-represented among the homeless, with research from the Albert Kennedy Trust finding that this demographic comprises up to 24% of the young homeless population. Recent government changes to housing benefit policy are further exacerbating homelessness and housing problems among this group."
