A SAFE SPACE

A SAFE SPACE

for young people to LIVE, LEARN & GROW

A PLACE THEY CAN CALL…

home

BANG Homes aims to provide young people who are experiencing homelessness with a place they can call home. Providing vulnerable young people with opportunities to gain valuable skills, we facilitate their development so they can live independently and achieve their goals.

BANG Homes is a working partnership between a group of established organisations and individuals that will build a community-led housing project that provides young people with a safe space to learn, be entrepreneurial, and make a positive impact in their lives and their communities.

To create safe homes with educational support for young people. To utilise the existing social housing support framework to provide financial and developmental support at no additional cost to the state utilising the upside of income and capital gains that would traditionally go to shareholders. This will be used to deliver proven education and training gifting wealth and skills to disadvantaged young people (initially in Brent), for them to make positive, informed decisions about their futures.

To provide young people who are homeless or at risk of homelessness a safe home with the additional benefits of financial and educational support and development enabling and optimising their potential and self-worth in a scalable and sustainable way at no additional cost to society.

IMPACT-FOCUSED: We measure and maximise the positive outcomes of the initiatives we deliver to young people.
STAKEHOLDER-LED: We put young people first and involve them in the decision-making process as they work towards independence.
SUSTAINABILITY: We ensure we meet the urgent needs of young people but also create a framework for young people to thrive.
SKILLS: We provide young people with opportunities to learn valuable skills for life and work.
