Hi Everyone, You may know I have worked at Southend YMCA for the past 6 years helping on a variety of different projects. I currently work in the supported housing department where we support 34 young people in our Southend location who would otherwise be homeless. During this time our young people many of who already feel isolated and alone are struggling now that they cannot meet up with their friends. We would like to be able to provide them with activities they can do at home, colouring books, puzzles, activity books etc

The residents also need additional support in other ways during this crisis, help with electric payments, phone payments and food. 

Money donated through this fundraising effort will be used directly to support these additional needs of The young people during this crisis.
