SASH FB Live Video To Highlight Youth Homelessness on Yorkshire Coast

The video, hosted by members of the SASH team, will be streamed on their Facebook page at midday today.

Tiffany Wilkey, a Youth Care Worker at SASH, has been speaking to Paddy about why they're doing it:

"A lot of other charities are trying to think of different ways to be engaging and to support the people they try and support. A lot of our work is face to face, building trust with our young people. It's been hard to do that during the pandemic. We thought it would be a fun way to answer anyone's questions about donating, putting a face to a name. We'll be talking about how to become a Host. It costs us £18.50 a night to make sure a young person has somewhere to stay for a night. It will be good to explain where that money goes and appealing for people to speak on SASH's behalf to help spread the word of SASH on the Yorkshire Coast".

To watch the Facebook Live video, visit the SASH Facebook page here at midday today.
