By leaving a gift in your Will, you can help prevent youth homelessness and give young people the opportunity to transform their future.
Your legacy can change a young person’s future
Every young person deserves the chance to feel safe, supported and hopeful about what comes next. At hyh, we work to prevent homelessness and help young people build the confidence, skills and support they need for a brighter future.
By leaving a gift in your Will, you can help make sure that support is there for future generations.
After your loved ones have been looked after, even a small gift can make a lasting difference – helping a young person find safety, rebuild their confidence and move towards a more secure future.
Your legacy could help create a future where fewer young people face homelessness.

Behind every gift is a young person’s future
When Rosie came to hyh, she was struggling and didn’t know where to turn. With the support of our team, she found a safe place to stay, someone to talk to and the confidence to rebuild her future.
“It’s the security that I’m not on my own any more.
And I don’t have to do things on my own.”
Rosie, young person
Your legacy could make that feeling possible for another young person in Hertfordshire.
