Story
Over the last five years, I have seen the difference the YMCA makes to young people's lives throughout England.
Whilst almost everyone will have heard of the YMCA (thanks to the song) the YMCA spends the money doing the work rather than making a song and dance about it. The YMCA works with young people at the margins of society to give them the support that you and I may too easily take for granted. The vast majority of the money goes to help young people who have lived their life in care, been homeless and misunderstood. Your sponsorship will help them truly belong, contribute and thrive.
May I assure you that donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving and they’ll never sell them or send you unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid (currently an additional 28% from the Chancellor) is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer.
It’s surely the most efficient way to donate, enabling me to raise more, whilst cutting costs of counting the money.
