As I see miles every year and people sense e-mails and emails once all answered and people thought well OK maybe they don't want us but we have a computer glitch with up sickly email address so even if you've emailed and you didn't hear anything we need to particularly if you're a tyler or decorous or or to join or any sorts of carpentry if you can help in any way get itself along to send Silas parish role as we said is a big ask we know that if you take time off work and you self-employed then you lose the money but you'd invest in a community it invested in something that he's bigger than all of us together and to help get this.

It was very similar to yeah just to rewind a little bit before the phone call I think I'm being what we call it warm leap is the project funded through Children in Need and I did that for the 1st 3 years of the children in need funding and I'd already started to ask the questions because it was coming up to the end up being involved children in need from the uniform a life and I knew we should have heard whether we would get more money and it was kind of a double edged sword because on the one hand the question was being asked is it right that children in need support young people in a situation of homelessness because Should that not be a stretch to service and when I heard that was a that's really good question and I'm really glad they're asking that because that shows some integrity and some you know that's absolutely a question I would ask but the other side of that was but that's my job that's what I do when I want to carry on doing it and of course then it made me really think about what if we didn't get children in need. Funding at night Seth and the work that I've developed for those 16 to 18 specifically was the advocacy that means yes of course it should be stretched refunded organization however if you're 16 and you've never been in care or you're 16 and you've just hit a crisis or your life begins to implode How do you know that you've got social worker how do you know that you can go and get some help college how do you know how to claim universal credit when adults can't even claim Universal Credit is supposed to be simple it's really not so all those things actually Children in Need provides no way leap to who took that job on you know such a lot of advocacy with young people and helps them to work their way through that minefield Yes the roster to service is there but how do you know where they are and how do you know to access them if you don't have that So at the point where I thought that that work might disappear I then wrote the go practice guide just in case so that that work would not disappear or be absorbed with a nice set would never be diluted and it wouldn't be as focused but it would be there and of course then I began to have conversations with Alicia staying steamboats and I'll believe is known to read your action in the just embarrass and formerly of this parish or once afterwards or during full day and call just doing not only one of the most talented people I've ever worked with but a lovely soul a lovely human being she has I always listen to this because you deserve it but the president saying you know what times at one point you pull through and well don't you what were you doing there absolutely well said because she's been a real comfort blanket to me it is well at times and I had a long conversation with her about the work that we do and the reason why it's important so fast forward of course where and by that time and because. The new leap coordinator leapt to and by that time had taken on some of the role of another one of my saves important women Linda Sharratt who had retired and I had to calm the aspect of her job that was report writing so I was feeling a bit bored because you know it's not as exciting it's not as much fun chatting up and down to college to job centers with young people sitting. All right imbeds boat just seen a drug open she asked for me and I was well don't you want way mission and I want you because it's going back looking at this and I want she said do you on any of your old buildings that night Seth strange question what we do we all know what in Project and she said Have you heard of the I Y S O S It's like. Where are we going with this. And of course then she explained that they were looking for projects for the big build and she asked me to put something down and I just said in passing because by that time I'd been to one meeting last November. With Reverend she learned her team and John and we were talking about since Silas and how we could use the parish hall up there and how we could create this separate silent project that will be a partnership and I was sitting there thinking this is going to take forever how on earth are we going to do this and where we're going to get the forms from it's almost like. And of course I said we have got this all the project that we're thinking of lease in this parish hall for and she said put it down on the sheet and we'll have a logo so we actually filled in for both projects one of which we were going to lease which we didn't even have a lease for at that point and one of which that we did on the wooden project is on a very busy road at a busy junction it was never going to be the right project for D.I.Y. So Wes and time went on and time went on fast forward fast forward we asked the question you know when will we know. And of course the mail came back and said you were the only projects that we are now considering and it was oh my goodness oh my goodness I don't think we've come down from cloud 9 since then we still I still personally I'm still pinching myself I keep saying I'm going to stop pinching myself because it really is happening but every time I think about it and I think of the work that's going on up there and the number of people who have given the number of trades that are given and it's just this so much love emanating from it that it really does feel like the comfort blanket to B.B.C. Children In Need who is looking after the young people going after almost looking after the young people but the D.I.R. S.O.S. On the same as you can say all we want to let you know why S.O.S. Team who are looking after that lovely building it's going to be incredible and amazing and I think lots of people talk about big numbers you know what's the number of homelessness nationally What's the number in lap and just think about those 6 young people individually as human people who are in crisis who are going to be moving in there very soon and it's those young people you should hold in your heart I think one of the young people that I spoke to who recently moved in and I said to OK we've got all that with don't with Tony you know we've told you what you do and what you need from not say what you want now what can I give you she wanted the wife I password for her to contact her family and friends not too much to ask and the other thing her it's not popular she wanted senator tells it's a dignity thing and it's what young women need I think in lots you could grow a beard young women don't stop having periods and I think we do need to talk about something that dignity and looking after them in a brand new spanking project that's going to be just so wonderful that will give them back that human dignity is not so much to ask them in simple basic human requirements and it is a question of dignity and it's something so easily of all things like licensure problems so easy to warble looking at vital 3 young women Carol thank you for talking to me to let all that percolate through our. Brains and they will listen to this one from the beautiful self this wall. Street is no. And Tuesday. The B.B.C. Radio Lancaster and the beautiful more specifically but been specifically. Safe which is the believe. Been which is so close to the railway station in Baghban that were actually sits in a building called Platform 5 the be. For platforms on the station but you can see the trends will past with me as Wayne Bowman leap coordinates the being this children in need from the initiative in you kind of moved home from work our role who was bored to just before kind of left off yes right Gary Ike I've been at nights for just over 6 years I started initially in the drop in center here which is platform 5 I did 5 years platform 5 throughout the time out with the age group of 16 to 24 and I've worked quite closely with Carol and we organized a celebration of this is part of our all so I used to work quite closely with Carol around LA and I say in the the impact the B.B.C. Children In Need funded role kind of on that age group of 16 to 18 so on when the opportunity came around we knew the there was going to be a vacancy for the league coordinator I felt like out works in the drop in center for 5 years I enjoy working at night safe and this was an opportunity so I applied Yeah I was lucky enough to get the job and I've been doing it 2 years in October so you are the sharp end and you see young people when they 1st arrive and when the 1st walk through the doors. What kind of issues what kind of problems you know what kind of people present themselves what they'll be no such thing as an average person but tell us about some of the people on the reasons they will for you dollars yeah think exactly riot homelessness can happen to any of all from any background there's a range of issues why young person in my. Family the experience of the young people when they're getting 161718 they're growing from the young persons who are young adults so they've got law that the the issue sometimes within the family a home maybe they feel like the still being treated as a child but they're starting to become an adult they're wanting to stay out of it later you know so it can lead it can lead to arguments you know either side saw family dispute is a big well knew you know it's not just because you go I want you in earlier no I want to stay out right get out there and be out completely that's completely other thing that's only because as parents you look after children a myself it's also in this. Surely you won't serve in the interest of the family I just find on usual Yeah and it is a bit unusual but you know this is what we say on a day to day basis quite often you know alongside family they come they you know wonder line issues whether you know we get more and more young people coming in from the rescue a pin you know arranged marriage is we getting people to fit different different kinds of abuse you know and it's just not safe for them to be home anymore we're getting more and more people with more complex of the mental health conditions you know and sometimes parents can't call or sometimes the young person just can't cope and the crying out for support so yeah viii say you know in an ideal world you'd have re you know every 1617 year olds should really be all member just the range of different different. Circumstances can lead to somebody to become homeless and then they come to our door at night Seth and that's where I start the work with them you most of them I see toolkits to be able to work with all these people each of them an individual and each one of them of the different reason for being on the streets that's something credible and it's like yeah every human person does comb with their own unique set of circumstances but I think a big part of the job that I do is working in partnership with other organizations you know I know that I call be everything and to do everything for that young person saw we're working with children services for example but working with the housing tames but working with careers advice and guidance teams if they're an education working with the law which where in providers Yeah this job that I'm doing funded by B.B.C. Children need I don't think it can exist without working in partnership with a range of organizations to enable each individual need of the young person so in that. Like Carol said earlier ohm there are services and facilities although some of them have been you know heights of the bowl some people largely But there are still services out there but how do you want system if you don't know all were the are so you do will assign force and also working in concert with these other organizations and basically putting people back on the feet yeah that's a key part of our role is advocacy for the in person like you say a young person may not know the even in time to have a help from a social worker they may not know who to go to college or or training if they're having problems and this is a key parts of the role that I do what nice safe is is making them connections for that in Paris and between you know who they can speak to in all these different organizations in some cases and I'm going along and I'm supporting the young people you know I've been to a number of meetings only this week alone with with local colleges and training providers now young people going back to college and different courses waiting September just trying to make sure that the young people come through nice if they get in the right support they need right at the beginning of the training courses so hopefully give them the best chance to succeed and so completely coerces also best thing about your job I just have a little think on what is the thing where you get the biggest council. You know what one of the best things is is sometimes we get young people called Mame with very low confidence and self-esteem women get somebody coming through the door wave their zip right so they're their whole day right over their head they're quite shy they don't really engage here and within a few within a few days there they hold comes down the star smiling and talking to the staff and talking to all the young people before you know what they might become you know one of their lifestyle workshops they might come for a game of football or come to the gym they may make spaghetti bolognese in the kitchen I think that's one of the biggest things is seeing some bodies confidence start to flourish and see their true personalities come in now when everybody comes through the door have nice if one of the 1st things we ask is how is your day been today we always ask everybody how are you an ally and people say you know they can remember the last time where somebody actually said how are you when somebody showed an interest in in them and what their skills and abilities were so that's definitely one of the biggest things for me that says a lot about as a society we're without rub salt in our own world and with our desperately getting on with our own lives and was all busy and everything found we forget to take time out and just a basic How you doing when we see someone who's homeless on the street sometimes it's easy to look away because if you look away you can see you and if you can see you can pretend it doesn't exist I'm sure I'm not the only person it was in my life but we need to engage with people yeah definitely you know everybody. People see out on the streets or accessing or still individual young people you know these are young people with skills and interests and you know everyone's got a story where they've come from that slight s
