100 homeless young people, supported by 9 agencies across England, are gearing up for the next Youth Homeless Parliament (YHP) which is facilitated by St Basils and will be taking place on 21st March 2017, at Parliament in Westminster, London.
Over 100 young people from across England who form the ‘Youth Homeless Parliament’ (YHP) assembled at Parliament on Tuesday 21st March 2017 to share recommendations on the implementation of the Homeless Reduction Bill with Minister for Local Government Marcus Jones MP.
The Youth Homeless Parliament was established 4 years ago, aiming to ensure the promotion of a positive and collective youth voice for young homeless people and Government officials. On Tuesday 21st March 2017 St Basil’s facilitated The 2017 Youth Homeless Parliament (YHP) at the House of Commons, Westminster, London.
We had the pleasure to catch up with Brian, an ex St Basils service user who came back to do some crucial research with us for his Masters in Urban Geography at the University of Amsterdam.
On Friday 7th April 2017 St Basils and MIND ‘up my street’ organised a workshop to promote health engagement and lasting relationships between young people and the police in their community.
