We are the largest regional charity in Sussex and Surrey working to prevent youth homelessness and support children and young people’s emotional and mental health. We do this by providing a safe home, increasing life skills and self-confidence, and improving emotional wellbeing and mental health.

Story

Christmas can be a lonely time for young people living in supported housing. This is why every year we ask the local community to get involved and help us give our young residents a very special Christmas. 

The aim of our Love in a Box appeal is to ensure that every young person living in our Brighton & Hove support housing projects has a present to open on Christmas morning. For many of our young people this will be the only thing they will receive and it is truly amazing to see how touched and grateful they are.

We will use the money raised to put together a special and personalised gift for each resident.

You can also get involved by creating your own Love in a Box present. To do this, fill a shoebox (or any other box) with little gifts. Please email communications@ymcadlg.org for more info on how to create and donate your Love in a Box gift.
