Thanks for taking the time to visit the GM Monk JustGiving page.

We are a corporate partner to YMCA Downslink Group and this year are supporting their "44 Challenge" by walking 44km over the South Downs.

GM Monk believes that everyone should have opportunities to thrive and be the best version of themselves. We strive to make a difference in our local communities through training, work experience, employment opportunities, and working  with charities and groups who share our vision.

We are very proud to partner with YMCA Downslink Group and to be associated with the vital work they do to support the most vulnerable in our community. We look forward to supporting their projects and campaigns which help to transform so many lives.

Introducing YMCA DLG's "44 Challenge"

Why 44 you might be wondering? Sadly, 44 is the average age of death for someone experiencing homelessness*. We work tirelessly to prevent vulnerable young people (16-24) facing difficulties from becoming part of this terrible statistic. By joining The 44 Challenge and fundraising you can help us change lives.  

We step in to look after young people (16-24) when they are vulnerable and facing difficulties in their life. By supporting young people at this crucial stage in their lives we can prevent them from falling into a vicious circle of exclusion. We provide a range of services that aim to keep young people safe, whatever they are facing. We run Youth Advice Centres, mentoring programmes, family mediation, counselling, support for young people facing sexual and criminal exploitation, and, give those facing homelessness a safe home.
