About us

For over 40 years, 1625 Independent People has been working alongside young people to challenge youth homelessness and create lasting change.

We believe every young person should have the opportunity to feel safe, have their voice heard and build a future they choose. Our work is shaped by young people, our values and our commitment to tackling the wider causes and barriers that contribute to homelessness.

‘’I am more independent now, and getting help to understand how to be a single adult’’
‘’The best thing about the house is having support and people around, not being on my own’’
‘’At St George’s House the best thing is being accepted – staff are understanding and don’t judge. My confidence has shot up whilst being here’’
