Here's an idea

Every year, Unlimited Theatre does an arts-based project with Out 2 Twenty Five, a group for young people who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transsexual or questioning their sexuality.

Housing is a perennial issue. Gay people are over-represented in the homeless population – not just because they're often thrown out of the parental home; sometimes they make themselves homeless because they're frightened of being open about their sexuality.

The internet radio project we did with Out 2 Twenty Five, RUHome, was a way of looking at a range of experiences affecting all young people, but because we did it with a gay group, it was influenced by their viewpoint.

We were given £15,000 from Comic Relief and £500 from Leeds council's Breeze project for people under 19. In June, we started creating fictional characters with the group, and developed dramas focused on their experiences.

For example, "Steven" was attacked outside a gay bar in Leeds after a row with his boyfriend and went to the police. We recorded a roleplay between him and a real policeman, and discussed his options.

It's a fantastic assertion of their self-esteem and empowers other young people in the area, raising awareness of the problems they can face.

The recordings were broadcast from www.ruhome.co.uk, launched on 23 September.

They'll be available until next April at least. We're now trying to secure funding for another year.
