Plan for the 136k
In 2023, an estimated 135,800 young people reached out to local councils to find safe homes, while at least double that are estimated to need support from the council to find safe housing. Despite the urgency of the problem, the UK government doesn’t have a nationwide strategy to tackle youth homelessness. That’s what the Plan for 136K campaign hopes to change. Our role was to design campaign collateral to increase awareness and help bring this issue to parliament.

Branding
Accessibility, clarity and impact were of paramount importance for this campaign. We selected a bold red against a neutral backdrop, complemented by black and white text to ensure high contrast and legibility. The use of colour photographs of people was a deliberate choice to foster a connection and evoke empathy among viewers. The fonts selected, Inter and Plus Jakarta Sans, are known for their accessibility in both print and digital formats, reflecting the multifaceted needs of the campaign.
