What's Going On?

In 2024, Comic Relief launched Every Step of the Way: Safe & Supported Beyond Homelessness, and through this we are supporting nine exceptional organisations that empower young people who are at immediate risk of, or currently experiencing homelessness in the UK, helping them access the right support at the right time.

Two years on, youth homelessness in the UK remains a growing issue. Between 2024 and 2025, an estimated 123,934 young people approached their local authority because they were at risk of homelessness – a 6% increase on the previous year [2]. Building on our existing work and in partnership with Omaze, we are launching a second phase- A Place to Belong: Every Step of the Way, which goes one step further in addressing inequity within the housing system.
