About Roundabout Who we are

Roundabout is South Yorkshire’s youth homeless charity. We are committed to ending youth homelessness and believe that with a safe place to live and tailored support, a young person can progress to independence and successfully break the cycle of homelessness.

We have supported thousands of young people since we began in 1977, and now support over 380 young people aged 16-25 every day. No route to homelessness is the same and some young people just need a bit of support at a difficult time, but sadly the majority of young people we see have experienced an element of childhood trauma. Without intervention, it is this experience that can potentially carve the path that they follow for the rest of their lives.

Feeling let down and undervalued they struggle to trust anyone, but Roundabout is here to bring stability to their lives. We have a range of services that offer different levels of support depending on a young person’s individual needs.

Each young person’s journey to independence is different, but by tailoring our support, we aim to help them to develop the skills they need to succeed and break the cycle of homelessness.

We help young people see a new route – a route that can be scary, unpredictable and challenging, but by following this new path with our support we aim to help them realise their potential and give them the opportunity to have a brighter future.
