Closed petition Provide funding for helplines for young people who are at risk of homelessness

Closed on 21 September 2023

In each part of the country there should be Government-funded helplines that can support younger people who may be at risk of becoming homeless.

I want the Government to do this because too many young people are left stranded on the streets after being kicked out of home or running away. This can put the young person in danger, and we want the Government to make sure they have easy access to advice and support.

It is estimated that over 120,000 children and young people are homeless. Every year 100,000 children and young people go missing or run way from home and nearly 100 teenagers are made homeless each day in the UK as a result to alcohol abuse.
