Give young people in crisis the safety and support they need this Christmas
When Kate* came to Brisbane Youth Service at 17 years of age, she had just spent three months in a psychiatric hospital. When she was well enough to leave, her parent said she couldn’t come home. “And that’s how I ended up homeless,” said Kate.
This Christmas, there are many more young people like Kate with no safe place to call home. Your gift today can help open doors – not just to safe housing, but to a whole new future.

Step up and dress down and raise funds or donate to help support young people and young families experiencing or at risk of homelessness.
Donate Goods
Occasionally there is a need for non-financial donations to assist young people and young families accessing BYS services. However, due to the administrative challenges around managing such donations, we kindly ask that you contact fundraising@brisyouth.org for more information before dropping items off or planning a collection/drive. Please note, we do not accept donations of second-hand items such as clothing, bedding, toys, furniture, bikes etc.
BYS is also registered with GIVIT and Baby Give Back as this is a more effective method for sourcing and managing specific items for our young clients when needed.
Leave a bequest or gift in your Will
A bequest or gift in your Will is a lasting and powerful way to help our community’s most vulnerable young people now and in the future.
