Safe And Sound Homes - Safe and Sound Homes supports young people in North Yorkshire who are homeless, or potentially homeless, by providing a safe place to live. We do this by offering accommodation and support for one night up to 18 months. All accommodation is in the home of fully trained and vetted volunteers, our ‘hosts’. Short term accommodation is arranged for a young person if a personal or family crisis results in them having no home to go to. This enables all parties to explore more sustainable options, which might be a return home once mediation work with the family or carer has been undertaken. Where returning home is not an option and if the young person meets the required criteria, Supported Lodgings accommodation may be offered. The young person is placed with a host who works with us and other agencies, such as colleges and local authorities, to act as a positive role model and provide a level of support determined by individual needs. Safe and Sound Homes aims to enable the young person to develop aspirations, responsibility, a sense of self-worth and the practical skills necessary to move on and live independently.

July 11th 2010 - Dragon Boat Race

Fundraisers: 
Tom Nall

My page: http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/team/SashSeaDogs

It’ll be World Cup final day, but 20 intrepid paddlers will be taking on the Armed Forces in the 2010 Dragon Boat Race.

It’s the crème de la crème of Aviva’s fitness bunnies versus boats of blokes trained to kill, over four 250m races of pure water torture.

We’re racing to raise £2,000 in sponsorship. All the money we raise will be split between the competition’s main charity, St Leonard’s Hospice and our chosen charity, Safe and Sound Homes (SASH).

Winning takes more than muscle – as the SASH Sea Dogs aboard the Black Pearl we’ll be sporting some of the darkest pirate finery since Davey Crocket’s lamp went out. Parrots, patches, peglegs and plenty of rum – what could go wrong?

All support gratefully received me hearties!

Safe and Sound Homes helps young people aged 16-24 who are homeless or at risk of homelessness.

St Leonard's Hospice is a registered charity caring for people with life-threatening illnesses - often, though not always, cancer. www.stleonardshospice.org.uk
