Ben’s story

“After my relationship with my mum and step-dad began to get strained I was forced to leave home. I was sleeping on park benches, begging for food and was often verbally and physically abused late at night in the cold. Since arriving at the YMCA, I have a roof over my head and a warm bed to sleep in. It is really helping my confidence and getting my life back on track.”

As a Roomsponsor you’ll get real, regular feedback from the young people who are turning their lives around, thanks to your regular donation.
You’ll also receive a welcome pack and thank you gift.
