YWAF

In the late 1980s Shepton Housing Association was a joint response by the local authority (Mendip District Council) and the parishioners of St Peter and Paul's Church to the problem of 16 to 25 year old homelessness in the Mendip Area. It resulted in the purchase, by English Churches Housing Group, of Grace Harris House which became a supported housing unit in Shepton Mallet. It was managed by a voluntary committee.

Seven years ago management of the House was transferred to English Churches Housing Group and a new charity Youth With A Future was born. Whilst maintaining specific support for homeless young people in the area, YWAF aimed to offer a wider group of young people in Mendip the monetary support and encouragement to reach their potential. It now works in partnership with Grace Harris House in Shepton Mallet, Spencer House in Wells, Frome Foyer and Mendip YMCA.

Parishioners continue to support the charity, although the Committee now has a broader ecumenical base, with support from Glastonbury Festivals and Mrs Angela Yeoman as President.
