We are delighted to be a charity partner for the 2026 Brighton Half marathon, known as the ‘UK’s happiest half marathon’. It’s always a well supported and fun event along the beautiful Brighton seafront.

Come join our fantastic group of runners taking part and raising essential funds for YMCA DownsLink Group.

A total of 20% of all homeless people in the UK are aged between 16 and 24.

We step in to protect children and young people from crisis by providing supported accommodation, support and advice, family mediation and counselling.

By supporting young people at this crucial stage, we can help them create a better future for themselves.

With your help, we positively impact the lives of about 6,000 children, young people and families each year, helping give them the skills they need to create a brighter, independent, future.
