Crisis

The Youth Advisory Committee (YAC) has commenced a programme of work with Crisis, the national charity for single homeless people. This joint initiative was launched at the recent National Youth Education Event and a programme of joint work is currently under construction.

The YAC wanted particularly to work with Crisis because of the very real problems our young members, who are predominantly single, are facing, to literally keeping a roof over their heads. The current government's policies greatly exacerbate the risk of homelessness and this was a further impetus for the YAC to want to get involved.

Fundraise

If you would like to take part in local fundraising Crisis can send a pack with leaflets, collection tins, stickers and balloons. Additionally, if your branch is interested in learning more about homelessness and the work that Crisis does then it is possible to organise a Crisis Ambassador to come and give a talk.

You can find out more about fundraising for Crisis and Crisis ambassadors here [http://www.crisis.org.uk/pages/with-your-group.html]. If you are feeling active you can also take part in a challenge event-from putting a team into the Crisis Square Mile Run to skydiving [http://www.crisis.org.uk/pages/events.html].
