Through my time on the National Citizens Service scheme I've learned more about the problems of homelessness generally, and of the work that the YMCA do in Southend to help people who are having a hard time. 

13 young people from the NCS programme want to highlight the problem of homelessness and raise some money to support the YMCA in their efforts.

On Thursday 14/8/14 we are going to be sleeping rough for the YMCA and it would be great if you could provide some financial support.

Thanks very much.
