On the 24th April Isaac and I will be joining the Cheltenham YMCA sponsored sleepout.

For one night we will be giving up the comfort of our warm beds for cardboard boxes and sleeping bags, and will join others in braving the elements to raise funds for this charity's vital work.

Any donations would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

Isaac and Jemma

For 170 years YMCA Cheltenham has been there for the communities of Gloucestershire.

EVERY DAY... EVERY NIGHT... EVERY FAMILY... EVERYONE...

From babies to grandparents, YMCA Cheltenham pride themselves on being there at each stage of family life, from providing early education at Cherry Blossom Pre School, to helping families reconnect through through our Contact Centre, providing essential food assistance through our network of pantries, to improving health and wellbeing at the YMCA Cheltenham Sports Centre.

At YMCA Cheltenham, the door is always open, providing support 24/7, 365 days a year -supporting to over 7,000 people, many of whom are children and young people.

We offer warm and welcoming accommodation, which across 2024 - 2025 saw us provide 98,644 nights to 843 people at risk of homelessness across Gloucestershire.

These are people, families and children who have been offered hope, support and reassurance, a stepping stone on their journey to independent living.
