If you have a good eye you may have noticed that we quietly launched a new look this week.
As we're into our 30th year, it seemed like the right time for a refresh.
Now what hasn't changed is our work! SASH are still here supporting young people facing homelessness across York and surrounding areas, and that’s not going anywhere. 💚

Today SASH officially turns 30! 🎈
We spent yesterday celebrating at our office with staff, trustees (past and present), hosts and young people. It was a really special afternoon spending it with people who made and continue to make SASH what it is.
Since 1996, SASH has been supporting young people across York and surrounding areas who are facing homelessness thanks to an incredible network of people who have been part of the charity along the way.
We've got some amazing events coming up, stories of people who have been part of our journey, a fresh website and new look along the way (spot our new logo on this post!).
So keep your eyes peeled for what is to be a very exciting year, but for today...
30 years of SASH! 💚

Launching Yorkshire Three Peaks - SASH’s 30th Anniversary!
This year, SASH turns 30 so we’ve launched the Yorkshire Three Peaks challenge, taking place on 30th May and with 30 places up for grabs.
Working with @hikingadventuresuk ,this event is fully guided, is a real challenge and feels like the right way to celebrate us turning 30 in April.
It’s a brilliant way to tick off the Peaks while helping us continue our work for the next 30 years.
If you fancy a challenge with purpose, want to be part of our 30th year or you’re simply passionate about hiking, this one is for you.
Tickets available through the link in our bio. 🤩💚

As we near the end of #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek, we wanted to share Ollie's journey with SASH.
When Ollie first came to us, he was going through one of the most difficult periods of his life. But with the support of his hosts and SASH staff, things slowly began to change.
He told us “I’m happy. I feel positive. I prefer to not look at the negative side anymore.”
This week, we’ve been reflecting on how important human support can be for mental wellbeing.
Thanks to his hard work and the support around him, Ollie now lives independently and is thriving. 💚

To continue #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek, we're sharing some of the mental health wins our young people have experienced during their time with SASH.
Meet Marshall, a former young person who is now thriving and living independently.
While staying with SASH, Marshall accessed life coaching, which he says “helped me come out of my comfort zone and realise things [from my past] that I didn’t understand before. Life coaching has helped me find focus and also helped me to understand my emotions.”
This Mental Health Awareness Week, we’re recognising how important it is for young people to feel listened to, supported and understood, and it’s incredibly rewarding to hear how the right support made such a lasting difference to Marshall. 💚

Today marks the start of #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek.
This year, we’re joining @mindcharity message that mental health support should feel human.
For young people facing homelessness, support can be the small everyday things like having somewhere safe to stay, someone to listen, or simply knowing they’re not alone.
At SASH, we know how closely housing and mental wellbeing are linked. A safe and stable environment can make a huge difference to a young person’s confidence, routine and sense of security.
This week we’ll be sharing a few snippets of how our work has helped support young people’s wellbeing so that they have been able to thrive independently.

With it recently being #WorldEarthDay, now is a good time to remind you that the opportunity to sign up to this year's Yorkshire Three Peaks challenge is coming to an end soon.
On 30th May, we’ll be taking on a 24 mile route across the three peaks in the Yorkshire Dales. To celebrate our 30th anniversary we're looking for 30 people to join us.
For those looking for a personal challenge this year, it’s a chance to spend a Saturday outdoors doing something a little different, whilst supporting a local cause at the same time.
There's still places available. We’d love to see a great mix of walkers, runners, friends and teams taking it on.
Sign up through the link in our bio.

A great update from young person, Preston! 🐍
Since coming into SASH, Preston has recently started volunteering with @projectwildcic , an initiative that works in tackling declining biodiversity and improving people’s mental wellbeing.
Pictured is Preston in his element holding a rescued python and grass snake! He was introduced to this opportunity through Trailblazers (Nybep) to help him explore new opportunities.
Preston now spends some of his week looking after the reptiles and partly using carpentry skills to build hedgehog houses and bat boxes.
