WHY RUN? - Every penny that is donated will go directly to the thousands of children and young people who access No Limits every year.

No Limits:- Helping young people help themselves - offering information, advice, support, counseling & advocacy.

We help young people make informed choices & know their rights. Open to all, many troubled young people access support, advice & help about homelessness, unemployment, emotional & behavioural difficulties, family & relationship issues & health issues like substance misuse, mental health & sexual health. This help is delivered through our three drop-in centres in Southampton, schools, college drop ins & other community venues & includes one-to-one support & group work in Hampshire & Southampton.

The teenage years can be turbulent - young people have big decisions about their future, the anxiety of not knowing if they are making right choices & all this whilst trying to carve out their identity. Many young people struggle with complex & confusing issues in their transition to adulthood & our services target those who are most troubled - those who are homeless, not in education or employment, young parents, those with health issues & offer long term support with the many issues they face.

Your support will have a life changing impact on the young people, especially those struggling to make successful transitions into adulthood. Last year we helped 5,000 young people, 45% of whom told us they had complex problems. We helped 251 homeless young people find housing; 257 young people to look for work; 352 attended counseling & became more resilient. 79% of our young people felt more able to deal with their problems as a result of our help; 81% told us their levels of stress had improved.
