I am raising money to help support YMCA Essex. It is an inclusive charity working to build the lives, hopes and futures of disadvantaged children and young people. They influence the lives of thousands of young people every year through a diverse range of programmes and services including community youth groups; family support/schools/education welfare work; and – in Colchester only currently – housing work, where they have supported accommodation for 44 homeless young people aged 16-25.

Funds raised through the Great Moustache Run will enable YMCA Essex to continue valuable work supporting vulnerable young people.
