One YMCA is a charity providing support to vulnerable people across Herts, Beds and Bucks, allowing everyone to belong, contribute and thrive!

From family work, supported housing, domestic abuse support, youth work, educational programmes, community hubs and mental health counselling, we support over 150,000 people every year...

2026 sees the charity celebrate its 140year anniversary, and this challenge links the as the crow flies distance between our key locations Watford, Bedford and High Wycombe (140km) with the vital work that can be completed by just £140

Did you know £140 could support

- a place on an overnight residential for 10 young people

- training for five mentors for young people

- provide a mobile phone and SIM for a person escaping domestic abuse

- provide a parent workshop to help young people navigate the digital world

Every donation really does make a difference!
