Story

Every night YMCA DLG provides over 550 young people with a safe place to stay. Sleep Easy is our biggest annual fundraising event generating much needed funds so that we can continue our vital work. 

The aim of Sleep Easy is simple - sleep rough so others don't have to! 

Money raised from Sleep Easy will help us support young people like Ameer. When he arrived in this country he had no support until he came across our housing advice service. This led on to him moving into YMCA accommodation. Read his story here. The money we raise through Sleep Easy will help many more young people to move into safe accommodation.

But we provide so much more that just a place to sleep. We offer support and opportunities so that the young people can achieve their full potential. Our aim is that they all belong, contribute and thrive.
