At Ryedale YMCA we have set up the iD Me project with an aim of ensuring that all our residents have valid photo iD. The best proof of identity (if eligible to apply for one) is a full UK passport.

To get a passport the young person may need support to fill in application forms, finding countersignatures and getting pictures taken. It may involve tracing a birth certificate, or even those of their parents. In addition to staff time, there is the cost of the applications and photos. By making a donation to iD Me you can help us raise £185 for each iD - that's a small price to pay for an identity.
