What is running away?
- Running away is when a young person chooses to leave home or care without permission, and the person looking after them is worried about them.
If you do run away you may:
- Be a victim of crime on the streets or get involved in committing crime
- Have increased health issues if you live rough, or
- Find it very hard to go home, because you might be in trouble
Donations Help make a difference
£10 a month can make a real difference
It could pay for a young run away to receive a session from a qualified counsellor or could allow us to answer a call from a distressed parent and give them vital help and support to ensure that their child stays safe.
