They helped me personally when I had a few troubles in my 20s and provided an invaluable service for which I am eternally grateful. I can safely say I would not be the person I am today without their assistance. The time I spent at Bromley Y gave me a safe, supportive environment in which to address the issues I was having and helped me to rebuild my confidence and let me move on with my life.&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>So if you would like to support a fantastic service that continues to help hundreds of troubled young people in the South London area then please dig deep and donate.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Many thanks and wish me luck!</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Kester x</p> <p>----------------------------------------------------------------------</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
