Thank you for taking the time to visit our Just Giving page.

Our aim is to raise awareness of adolescent homelessness and to raise funds to support the YMCA in their mission to prevent youth homelessness.

Each year 86,000 young people ask their council for support with homelessness. Within Exeter, there are 341 homeless people - this equates to 1 in every 367. With your support, we believe that those without a home could be given a chance at success and a second chance in life.

The YMCA offer young people the space they need to feel secure, respected, heard and valued. In Exeter, they support 51 young people each night for up to two years, ensuring they will not fall back into homelessness.

Your money will be invested in new equipment for the centre, such as laptops, bedding and crockery, as well as workshops designed to prepare them for life outside the centre.

Whilst our issue and cause may not be the most visible in the community, we believe it is one that can truly change lives. If you were to be so generous as to donate to us, the YMCA would greatly benefit.
