About Roundabout Our Impact 2023
As we reflect on the past year, I am honoured to welcome you to our Annual Impact Report. Over the last year we have maintained our commitment to ensure every young person in Sheffield and Rotherham has a safe place to live each night.
This task has become increasingly difficult. In my 23 years of working in homelessness in South Yorkshire, I have never witnessed so many people in such desperate need of housing and support. Our Homeless Prevention Service in the centre of Sheffield had its busiest year in its 9 year history and all our 350 bedspaces have been full every night.
But…we will keep going, and we will find solutions to help as many young people in our region as we can.
This year has been a testament to our collective dedication. I must give gratitude to our incredible staff, whose unwavering passion and tireless efforts have enabled us to help more young people than ever this year. Their commitment to young people has not only been admirable but instrumental in achieving our goals.
Our supporters – you are the backbone of Roundabout. Your generosity has allowed us to expand our reach and make a tangible impact on the lives of more young individuals facing homelessness than ever before. Together, we’ve provided not just shelter, but hope, guidance, and a pathway to brighter futures. In the face of unprecedented challenges, we have adapted and persevered. Through innovative programs, collaborative initiatives, and your unwavering support, we have become stronger, more resilient, and more effective in our mission.
This report encapsulates not just numbers and statistics but the stories of transformed lives – stories made possible by you. It is a celebration of our shared commitment to alleviating youth homelessness in South Yorkshire. As we delve into the details of our accomplishments, let us take a moment to recognise the profound impact of our collective efforts and envision the possibilities that lie ahead.
