Every night, young people in the New Forest are without a safe place to call home. With your support, they can find safety, stability, and a brighter future.
Whether you're ready to open your home, give your time, or make a donation, your actions can have a life-changing impact on vulnerable young people in the New Forest. These are real young lives – your neighbours, your community. Your heroism starts here.
“I witnessed first hand the challenges faced by young people and I wanted to provide a safe and supportive environment for others in similar situations. It's important to me to offer a stable home where young people can feel secure and supported."
Offer a spare room and a steady hand to a young person who needs support. Become a Supported Lodgings Host or consider Fostering with Step by Step.

The New Forest might look idyllic, but many young people here face hidden homelessness, family breakdown, or emotional crisis. They’re falling through the cracks – and you can help catch them.
Together, we can ensure that no young person in the New Forest has to face homelessness alone. Whatever action you choose, it matters.
Be the Hero. Support young people in your community today.
