Doncaster Housing for Young People (DHYP)
Supporting young people to build brighter futures
Doncaster Housing for Young People (DHYP) is a local charity supporting young people aged 16–25 who are homeless, at risk of homelessness, or facing significant challenges in their lives. For more than 30 years, they have worked across Doncaster to provide safe accommodation, practical support, counselling, and opportunities that help young people move forward with confidence and independence.
DHYP believes that every young person deserves a safe place to live and the chance to reach their full potential. Their team works alongside young people to address the issues that can contribute to homelessness and instability, including family breakdown, poor mental health, financial hardship, unemployment, and social isolation.
What They Do
DHYP provides a range of services designed to help young people achieve long-term stability and independence, including:
- Supported accommodation for young people facing homelessness.
- Housing advice and tenancy support.
- Mental health and wellbeing services, including counselling.
- Employability, education and training support.
- Life skills development, such as budgeting, cooking and independent living.
- Youth engagement activities that build confidence, resilience and social connections.
Last year, DHYP supported 299 young people across Doncaster, helping them overcome challenges and create positive futures for themselves.
CEO Sleepout is delighted to have DHYP as a charity partner for CEO Sleepout Sheffield. The event brings together business leaders and senior professionals who are willing to step outside their comfort zone for one night to raise awareness and vital funds for charities tackling homelessness and poverty.
While one night sleeping outdoors can never replicate the realities experienced by those who face homelessness every day, your participation provides an opportunity to shine a spotlight on the challenges many young people encounter and encourages meaningful action through fundraising and awareness.
Every pound you raise through CEO Sleepout will make a real difference to young people in Doncaster.
Your fundraising will help DHYP to:
- Provide essential support to young people at risk of homelessness.
- Deliver counselling and wellbeing services for those experiencing emotional and mental health difficulties.
- Support young people to access education, employment and training opportunities.
- Equip young people with the practical skills needed to live independently.
- Provide emergency and preventative support that helps young people avoid crisis situations.
By investing in early intervention and practical support, DHYP can help young people build stable, independent lives and reduce the likelihood of future homelessness.
Thank You
CEO Sleepout is incredibly grateful to everyone taking part, as well as those sponsoring participants and supporting the event. Your involvement will help DHYP transform the lives of vulnerable young people across Doncaster and ensure they have the support, opportunities and encouragement they need to thrive.
