You can transform lives. Be 1 in 100.

Remember being a teenager.  
The expectations. The changes. The hopes and fears. The self-doubt.  
The transition from childhood to adulthood is sufficiently challenging in itself.

Imagine, in addition to this, having had to flee from the only life you’ve ever known. After a perilous journey to find sanctuary, arriving in a new country, culture, a new language, without family or friends for support. Then comes a period of being lost in limbo: living in temporary accommodation, with no defined status or confirmation that you can stay and put down roots, access education, make friends, pursue your hopes, and start to rebuild your life.  

The pandemic prolonged this period of uncertainty. Hostile government policies and the cost-of-living crisis have exacerbated it.  

Young Roots works alongside young refugees in London, many of whom have fled devastating situations in countries including Afghanistan, Sudan, Eritrea, Iran and Syria. We support them to heal from trauma, to understand their rights, to have hope and to fulfil their potential. We ensure that young people feel heard, believed and safe, as they establish trusted relationships with staff and their peers.
And you can support them too.  

This year, we aim to build a community of 100 supporters who pledge a monthly donation to Young Roots. Become part of our community, supporting young people to feel safe and empowered as they rebuild their lives: Be 1 in 100

We know times are tough, and we are so grateful for anything you can give. Whether big or small, giving regularly is hugely valuable to our work, allowing us to plan ahead, create long-term solutions, and respond promptly to emergencies which affect young refugees.
