For 30 years, SASH has been working to prevent youth homelessness.

But what does that actually mean?

It means a safe place to stay when you have nowhere else to go.

It means someone opening their home.

It means someone listening.

It means support.

It means having the opportunity to look towards the future… and, it means a community believing that every young person deserves stability and a safe place to stay.

Today, we're proud to share SASH Matters – our 30th anniversary film.

If SASH matters to you, please donate to our SASH Matters appeal if you can.

Please also share the film, and help us reach more people who need to know we're here.

If you have a good eye you may have noticed that we quietly launched a new look this week.

As we're into our 30th year, it seemed like the right time for a refresh.

Now what hasn't changed is our work! SASH are still here supporting young people facing homelessness across York and surrounding areas, and that’s not going anywhere. 💚

What can one safe place to stay mean?

For Andy, it meant having somewhere to go when he had nowhere else to turn.

After being referred to SASH, Andy was given an emergency Nightstop place with a host in Scarborough. Within just a few hours, he had a safe bed, a warm meal and someone there to help.

Today, Andy is a successful chef and owner of @junksoulsmothered.

His story is one of many. For 30 years, SASH has been there for young people facing homelessness by providing a safe place to stay, support and the chance to rebuild lives.

That's why SASH Matters.

If you can, please donate to our SASH Matters appeal through the link in our bio and help us make sure SASH is here for the next young person who needs us.

And please share Andy's story to help us reach more people.

What better way to kick off SASH's first Business Club event than a scavenger hunt on the River Ouse!

This week we brought together our Business Club members for a morning of coffee, boats and a bit of friendly competition.

It was great to meet some of our new Business Club members and spend the morning with some brilliant York businesses.

A huge thank you to @citycruisesuk for putting on the scavenger hunt and to @plonkers90 for fuelled with coffee.

And if your business hasn't joined the SASH Business Club yet, now is a great time!

We have more events planned and we'd love to welcome more York businesses into the club.

Email fundraising@sash-uk.org.uk to find out more. 💚

Our Project Manager, Nick, recently attended York College’s annual Wellbeing Strategy Expo on behalf of SASH.

The event gives new students the chance to find out more about the support available to them, both within College and from organisations across York.

Nick was there to chat to students about SASH and the support we offer to young people aged 16–25 who are facing homelessness.

It was great to be alongside lots of other local organisations and support services, helping students know what’s out there if they ever need it.

Thanks to @york_college for having us!

Something we've been working on is almost ready to share...

This year marks 30 years of SASH.

30 years of people opening their homes.

30 years of young people finding safety.

30 years of staff, volunteers, supporters and communities believing the same mission.

We've brought some of that story together in a new film.

SASH Matters.

Coming soon...watch this space. 💚

Pictured are some of the special people featuring in the film.

We have just 2 days left to make our Big Give target!

If you haven’t heard of the Big Give before, here’s why it matters.

The Big Give is a match-funding campaign that means donations to SASH can be doubled. So, thanks to generous pledges from supporters, every £1 donated during the Big Give campaign this December can become £2 for SASH.

We have £1,000 left to go before we reach our target.

And £1,000 can sound like a lot… but together, we can get there:
💚40 people giving £25
💚20 people giving £50
💚10 people giving £100

If you can make a pledge today, you could help us unlock £5,000 of support for SASH.

Your support helps us continue providing young people with a safe place to stay, support and the chance to move forward.

Pledges close on 6th September.

Make your pledge today via the link in our bio and help us double the difference. by @sashyorks
