I'm running in support of YMCA Black Country, to help create more youth spaces for young people.

YMCA exists to provide the essential building blocks for a full and rewarding life: a safe home; acceptance; guidance; friendship; physical and mental health; academic support; employment skills; and access to real opportunities.

Many young people have never known these things; other people have lost one or more as they grew up, but we all need them. All of us. YMCAs vision in England and Wales is to transform communities so that all young people can belong, contribute and thrive.

Please give what you can.
