These 136k homeless young people can't sign our petition, because they don't have an address.
We need your help to get our petition to 100k signatures, so we can call for a national strategy to end youth homelessness for good.

One homeless young person in the UK is terrible; 136,000 is unacceptable.
In 2023, Roundabout had a 21% increase in the number of young people we supported. So, with 120 other organisations across the UK, we are calling on @GOVUK to create a #PlanForThe136k. 1/2

Nearly 3/4 of destitute households receive income from benefits. 💷
This shows that after a decade of cuts and freezes our social security system is so inadequate it is not protecting people from destitution – and in too many cases pushing them into it. ✂️

Extremely low incomes, a threadbare social security system, the increasing cost of essentials and high levels of debt has led to a rapid rise in destitution. 📈
Over 1/2 of destitute households have a weekly income of less than £85 a week. 💷
