Imagine you are struggling with life and find yourself at the door of YMCA Bedfordshire.  You are offered a room you can call home, to get yourself back on your feet and you move in.  YMCA Bedfordshire need your support to continue equipping these rooms with basic home comforts such as a kettle and bedding.

Or imagine you have come to the end of your "move in" support and you have been offered your own independent accommodation to move on.  YMCA Bedfordshire need your support to turn houses to homes by supporting the resident with a bedroom package. 

As the COVID pandemic has progressed, YMCA Bedfordshire like many other charities have lost the ability to fundraise to pre-pandemic levels and this has had an impact on the number of residents we have been able to support.  

To help I'm cycling 26 miles every week during March to raise funds.  This will definitely be a challenge as I only just got back on a bike since childhood! So please donate as much as you can.  Here's how your donation will help:

Move In Packages

£5 will buy basic toiletries 

£10 will buy emergency food 

£15 will buy a kettle & toaster

£20 will buy bedding

£50 buys a resident all of the above  

Move On Packages 

£100 will buy a single bed  with mattress

£150 will buy a double bed with mattress 

£250 will buy a full bedroom set which includes, a bed, wardrobe, chest of draws & bedside tables 

Thank you for reading my story I hope it encourages you to make a small difference to someone's life when it's needed the most.
