From this November 2025 YMCA Cheltenham is marking an incredible 170 years of supporting the local community right here in Gloucestershire, we want to invite 170 local businesses to be part of something truly life-changing.

We are asking if you can, for a whole year, donate £50 per month, which can give the prospect of a new beginning for someone who may find themselves in our supported accommodation. Space To Thrive is about giving a person dignity, hope, and the tools they need to thrive.

Your monthly support will provide:

- A welcome hamper to make their room feel like home

- Food vouchers to ease the stress of daily living

- Wellbeing support and access to essentials like a SIM card, haircut, or a suit for job interviews

- A chance to experience joy again with cinema tickets, a day trip, or something just for them

Why Get Involved?

Supporting Space to Thrive is more than a donation (or your CSR)—it’s an investment in the community we are all apart of; it’s a chance to give back in a way that’s personal to a life or family right here in Gloucestershire.

What You will Receive for Being A Supporter

- A digital sponsorships badge to display on your social media channels, and if you are business, on your website

- Recognition on our website and social media as a community partner

- Included as a ‘Space to Thrive’ contributor for our Historic 170th Year event at the Cheltenham Town Hall in Feb 26', plus exclusive invite

- Regular updates on how your support is making a difference
