Safe and Sound Homes has launched a Business Club to help tackle youth homelessness in York.

Safe and Sound Homes (SASH), a York charity supporting young people aged 16 to 25 who are homeless or at risk of homelessness, has launched a new Business Club to boost support from local businesses across York and surrounding areas.

The first event took place on 29 September and was sponsored by City Cruises. Attendees took part in a River Ouse scavenger hunt using the company's boats, combining networking with friendly competition. A SASH spokesperson said the club would be 'a friendly, informal way for businesses to get to know us, meet other local organisations and discover how they can make a difference to young people in York'.

Membership of the Business Club costs £350 per year and is open to businesses of all sizes. The club offers a space for businesses to network, share ideas, and explore ways to support young people through fundraising, volunteering or offering professional skills. The next event is scheduled for January 2027.
