Sofa Surfer is a short film, produced by The Right Track, telling the story of a young woman from Hackney, JRC, who spent years staying on friends' and relatives' sofas and, once again, has nowhere to go.

The film launches on Wednesday 21 December 2011. It is the centrepiece of a campaign that aims to gain an understanding of the extent of sofa surfing in London among young people and to push for a change.

Many young people in London spend their nights on sofas belonging to friends, relatives or strangers; sometimes putting themselves at risk by doing so. Almost everyone knows someone in this situation. It's a form of hidden homelessness.

The instability can affect their health, education and their chance of getting and keeping a job.
