Ways you can support us

"We support over 400 young people across Bristol and South Gloucestershire and many of these are 16 or 17 and therefore they’re children, who are homeless and that just shouldn’t happen. It shouldn’t happen in our society, it shouldn’t happen where we live.

The main point I want to get across is that these are children, they’re not just Independent People’s responsibility, they’re not just my responsibility, they’re the responsibility of all of us and we all need to take a part in improving their futures."

Dom Wood, Chief Executive

Independent People is a non-profit making and charitable organisation. We rely on local government, trusts and donations to pay for the services we provide and allow us to do the amazing work we do.  

Do we really make a difference?
