This Christmas @bodyshopuk is supporting young women affected by homelessness. Last year 110,000 young people were affected by homelessness in the UK*. But there's still hope. With the right opportunities and support, homeless young people can turn their lives around and build successful futures. That’s why they have joined forces with Charity End Youth Homelessness to give young people a brighter future.

I agree, I was 17 when I had to leave home it was terrifying. God bless everyone going through this horrible time.
❤️
I like you

I wish it was longer. Like many issues this especially is not spoken about enough and souls are being overlooked. Great piece ❤️
I am an old lady Most of the problems that we have today are caused by the breakdown of the community's. This in my humble opinion is most of the cause .Why is this happening. It's 2020 .Life should be better not worse from when I was a child .
Family breakdown too.
The West is dying, what else is there?
Hated being in a hostel at 17. So scared and lonely. Been homeless a good few times. I’m 23 and now in a mental health hospital. X
❤️
I wish you well and all the love in the world . Be and stay strong , a moment will come and you'll feel happy. Never forget . X
@Alan Hardcastle what ??
@@dateway4668 thank you xx
@@bethanymay7720 He's suggesting that you've been put in hospital unnecessarily.
I was institutionalised from my Mother going in to safe homes, hostels and 'battered' women's homes. I continued the cycle until 29 via youth hostels etc but I'm applying for jobs and want to be working by end of January. It's crazy but I always said shared homes etc scared me for life too.
I'm 17 and homeless I had to leave home because it got too much and I've been suffocating there since childhood I'm trying to get the help I can get, all the social workers have slagged me off and said there is no problem if your from the Redbridge area then you know nobody gives damn about you! I'm just surviving still trying to find accommodation
Much love. Hoping ur safer and surviving xx
Well done for appearing and highlighting this issue X

When I was in UK. I saw empty boarded up streets under a constant grey sky, litter everywhere.
Homeless people sleeping in doorways. Opioid addicts out of their mind and women so drunk they urinated on the streets. It's a sad declined country
Yep, lost our values and cultural identity in a lot of places
You haven't seen anything until you look up Fentanyl users on the street on TH-cam.
I’ll be 3 years homeless (sofa surfing) on 18th April.
Multiple times I have contacted the council and various homelessness ‘charities’ here in South Wales.
I became homeless through a breakdown in relationship with an addict parent.
Why can’t I get housing and why do local counsellors ignore my emails?
Here’s why:
I am not drug or alcohol dependent.
I am not, nor have I ever, claimed benefits.
I am not a parent, more specifically a mother.
I am a male.
This is a well-made film but why doesn't it tell us anything about what the Body Shop and the charity are actually doing to help? It feels like half the story has been left out.
Agree.

The struggle is real and it's getting harder by the day
Not all men walk by as two weeks ago i was in doncaster town and saw a old man shivering freezing so i walked into greggs bakers and bought him two hot sausages rolls and an hot coffee and came out and gave them all to the homeless man as that could happen to any of us
The little things always count ........You gave that old man , maybe an hour ,where he felt part of the human race.
Well done. I have similar..
@@LettyK well done to you too as i said it could happen to anyone of us
@@dateway4668 Thanks that is why i did it because it was the right and human thing to do as no one should be homeless in this decade plus wanted to give him something hot to warm him up even if only for a short time and will do it again and again when i can
Thats commendable of you for sure but what about tomorrow and the day after that and the day after that. That's the issue.
Why are the large majority of the UK's homeless rough sleepers single men? What makes them massively more likely to become homeless than the rest of the population?
@Alan Hardcastle The gender disparity for homeless rough sleepers (who are a tiny minority of the homeless) is larger - more like 9 to 1.
@Alan Hardcastle Someone sleeping in a shop doorway is a rough sleeper, whereas a person temporarily accommodated in a hostel, B&B etc. isn't - but they're both homeless.
@Alan Hardcastle He meant "sleeping in the rough".
Cos people give women special treatment lol, it's quite simple.
Men are also more likely to be risk-tolerant so sometimes that results in losing everything
I swear I went to Kingston uni with her.
Even toked up with her 😂
Fabulous ❤❤❤
was made homeless at 14. had to drag myself up. now? I seek revenge.
14 ? What happened. Did you stay at mate houses
I think if you are poor or homeless it's better to go to the military as at least that is a sure way for a job and some qualifications.
Some homeless are the direct result of addiction. Eradicate the drug pushers, and eventually you'll solve most of homelessness.
Eradicate family breakdown, all kinds of abuses, mental health, etc. and you might be able to eradicate addiction...
that's such a ignorant comment even if you didn't mean it to be. So many become homeless for other reasons other than addiction. Mostly it's due to family problems and mental illness/trauma.
No that’s not true. That’s a close minded thing to say mate. There’s many reasons for homelessness, Mainly family/parental problems
@@StaaaaNzHD Did I say "all"? Sure there are other mitigating circumstances, especially when druggies don't want to pay rent when they get a Dept of Housing flat.
I've seen countless addicts spend their ENTIRE welfare money on either drugs, or paying back the scumbags who give them credit. They don't want to help themselves because society has given them the green light that it is a disease.
In the end, they get turf out on the street because they don't pay the rent. So they give that place to someone who will pay up.
Makes me laugh when I see the bullshit sob stories in regards to homelessness.
What they should call it is self destructive termination of abode.
And I'll tell you another thing, before they do get kicked out, they get a number of chances to get clean, go on programs and improve themselves. But no, they don't or refuse to give no f**ks.

1st time homeless?
1st the worst
