Story

2024 has been a tough year for young people in Southend...

When young people at risk of homelessness arrive at Southend YMCA they often arrive with a carrier bag and a few clothes...

CAN YOU GIVE HOPE THIS CHRISTMAS?

This is not a gift that once opened and used will be discarded. This gift is something special. This gift will give a young person the chance of a brighter future. Your donations will help us give life-changing support to vulnerable young people. We serve the young community without discrimination, we invest in the future of young people, and welcome YOU to join us to do the same.

- £5 would be a welcome contribution to help a resident pay for the ever-increasing energy costs.

- £15 could contribute towards a basic toiletry kit and towel.

- £25 could provide a warm, safe place to sleep.

- £50 could pay for information, advice and counselling sessions.

- £250 could pay for a three-months of mentoring sessions making a permanent difference to the emotional wellbeing and esteem of a child in Southend.
