Growing up we all need support and encouragement to help us develop our confidence and find our way in life. Whether it came from a person, a place, or a life experience, we'd love to hear about the things that gave you hope and helped you believe in your future as a young person.
Did a teacher or mentor see your potential and set you on the path for your future career? Perhaps some kind words from a stranger gave you hope and comfort during a tough time, or maybe it was the support you received when you left home for the first time that made all the difference.
Everyone who posts on this thread by 1st May will be in with a chance to receive £200 to donate to a charity of their choice. T&Cs
We’re working with New Horizon Youth Centre, the only day centre in London supporting young people facing homelessness with emergency housing support and advice. For thousands of young people, there is no family support, no financial safety net, and no affordable housing options. Over 100,000 young people a year approach their council as homeless. We think our nation's children and young people deserve better. Find out more about the work New Horizon Youth Centre do and how to donate here.
