Sometimes, making a big difference is as simple as a donation of noodles. Many of the young people we support don’t have cooking facilities, and instant noodles are a very popular and frequently requested item in our weekly food parcels. Send an email to [email protected] to donate today 💙

“Everyone really cares here. I think a lot of kids that grow up around the streets, they don’t have anything like this. I think it’s definitely helped a lot of kids get out of bad situations, out of lives of crime, and it’s given them somewhere safe.” - Charlotte, 24 (she/her)

“My favourite thing is connecting with people and being someone they can trust. It’s scary trusting people when you’re in such a vulnerable state in your life - so it’s a massive honour for me to have people trust me, share their stories, and accept support.” Nishat (they/them), CTS volunteer 💙

“Clay is an amazing medium that allows people to unwind and forget themselves and have fun for a couple of hours. The clients are amazing and have created some very innovative and colourful work. I'm impressed and proud of them.” - James Foley, CTS pottery group facilitator. 💙

“I was on my last chance with my accommodation and struggling to keep hold of it. CTS helped me sort out some stressful situations and understand what the council were saying. I don’t think I could have done that on my own given how my mental health was at the time.” - Bryony, 23 (she/her)

It might not feel like much, but donating a box of cereal could make a BIG difference here at CTS. It's often the first thing our clients reach for when they drop in each day, alongside a cup of tea or coffee and some toast. To arrange a delivery, email [email protected] today! Thank you 💙

Last year, 58 volunteers spent 8,938 hours in our day centre, preparing meals, facilitating groups and activities, and having compassionate conversations with young people experiencing homelessness. Thank you for going above and beyond for young people in our city, week after week, year after year 💙
