We support homeless and vulnerable young people (aged 12-25 years) and their children, to secure and maintain housing. We provide emergency support and a range of services to assist young people to address physical and mental health issues, establish successful relationships and support networks and access pathways to education and employment.

Our Impact

AJ bounced from place to place sleeping rough, trying to find a home.

Since entering BYS accommodation, life has completely turned around.
Tahi’s journey has taken her from sleeping rough to resilient, independent mother. She now has a vision to work as a social worker to pass on the help she received to the next generation of young people.

BYS has provided me with the ongoing support I needed as my circumstances continued to change over time.

If you are over the age of 18 and have had the second dose of your primary dose course of COVID-19 vaccination at least 4 months ago you are eligible for your booster shot.

Two doses of COVID-19 vaccine provide very good protection.

A booster dose will make sure the protection from the first two doses is even stronger and longer lasting, and should help prevent spread of the virus.
