This winter, take on a challenge and support local young people!
This has been a tough year for us all, but for young people who were already vulnerable, the impact of COVID-19 has been dramatic. As the largest youth homelessness charity in the South East, YMCA DownsLink Group saw a staggering 61% increase in the number of young people presenting as homeless at the start of the pandemic. COVID-19 has also exacerbated emotional wellbeing and mental health problems for children and young people.
As we look with hope towards 2021, why not take on a challenge - whether individually or as part of a team - and help raise money to ensure young people feel that same hope too.
