Out in the cold, nowhere to call home. Young people facing homelessness in your area urgently need help.
Last year, YMCA provided support to 16% more young people than in 2020. And through our RoomSponsor Scheme, we now support over 10,600 young people every year across England and Wales.
As the nights draw in, we urgently need your support to get young people out of the cold, and into a place at YMCA, so we can break the cycle of homelessness.

Read about Lucy – just one of thousands of young people supported by YMCA RoomSponsors.
Lucy became homeless aged just 16.
YMCA provided her with a warm place to stay, emotional support and life skill sessions so she could learn to cook and manage her money and then supported her back into college.
Lucy was able to overcome the trauma of homelessness and now dreams of becoming a YMCA support worker to help young people just like her.
