In this episode, we chat to Nick Tilney from SASH in York. This episode is all about how SASH get young people in housing and off the streets of York. We also discuss how the cycle of homelessness and poverty is so much more than getting people off the street. How discourse about poverty and homelessness is so important and how by combating negative ideas of young people experiencing homelessness, we can make real change in our communities. Nick's experiences of watching young people grow relationships with their host families is truly an inspiring take on how a village can raise a child. We talk about the importance of trusting young people to make their own choices and giving them chances through volunteering in their community. This episode doesn't have the revolution planned... but we're working on it.
