When I first contacted the YMCA, I was shy and not very confident. Now, thanks to the YMCA, I have a full time job, am living independently and my family is so much closer. For this I will always be grateful.

Your incredible fundraising efforts will transform the lives of children, young people and families who dont have the same opportunities in life that most of us take for granted, such as a safe place to live, good health, or support from a loving family. Your Challenge of Challenges sponsorship will provide essential services such as free school holiday activities, respite for young carers, inclusion for children with additional needs, clubs for isolated older people, and personal support for young people at risk of homelessness.

Help us provide everybody with opportunities to lead healthy, happy lives.
