1625 Independent People

Kingsleigh House_edited.jpg

1625 Independent People is Bristol’s youth homelessness charity which supports more than 1,600 young people every year to access and sustain safe housing, education, training and employment. 1625 offers a range of specialist support to some of the city’s most vulnerable young people, including care-experienced young people, custody leavers, refugees and unaccompanied asylum-seeking children. 

The Foundation has made a pledge of £500,000 towards the capital expenditure needed to launch Bristol's largest and most ambitious youth homelessness project in the City's history. Kingsley Hall, in Old Market, will be transformed into a safe, welcoming and thriving centre where the City’s most disadvantaged young people can re-engage in education and employment, enhance their wellbeing and rebuild their lives. The project includes new training facilities, a youth-led social enterprise and 9 new studio flats for young homeless people.
