Thousands of young people were sleeping rough every night, with many areas notoriously dubbed “cardboard cities” due to the visible rise in street homelessness. Appalled by the scenes playing out across the capital, a group of people came together to tackle the challenge head on.

Led by Cardinal Basil Hume and Mark McGreevy OBE, in 1989 the charity was born.\\n\\nWhat began as a single housing project in North London soon expanded across London, Greater Manchester and the North East of England. Today, the charity provides accommodation, prevention and support services to thousands of marginalised young people across the UK each year. #INDNFP\\n\\nPLEASE NOTE: This role is being advertised by NFP People on behalf of the organisation
