Charities

Herts Young Homeless

We are a proud ‘Charity Partner’ for Herts Young Homeless (hyh) and as a company we have raised over £100,000 for the organisation to date.

The unique Hertfordshire-based charity works with 16 to 24-year-olds who are homeless or at risk of homelessness, as well as young people aged 10 to 15 whose families are at risk of relationship breakdown. It also supports over 18s, including young people who have experienced the care system, and those with mental health and substance misuse challenges, with housing and support needs.

The charity’s main aim is to prevent homelessness but it also offers advice and support to those in crisis, help for vulnerable adults with mental health issues and ongoing support for those in their first home.

Every year, we raise money for hyh through a raffle and auction during our annual conference. The 2023 event raised an amazing £35,860.

Our team have participated in various events including the St Albans Sleepout and hyh quizzes. We also attended the charity’s first ever gala dinner to celebrate its 25th anniversary.

In addition to fundraising activities for hyh, our Group CEO, Mathew Baxter is a Trustee on the Board.
