From cooking lessons to disability sports sessions and career mentorship, YMCA gives young people a fair chance to discover who they are and what they can become.
The heart of our Christmas fundraising campaign is to give lasting, life-changing gifts to young people.
A Christmas present is often associated with temporary pleasure – consumables, experiences, and so on. Our Gift for Good campaign has a singular purpose – to give something that lasts a lifetime, such as support for housing, mental health, skills development, and providing life-changing opportunities.
