Story

Thank you for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

The Y Charity supports homeless and at risk young adults in Leicester. 

Every year I organise a Christmas collection from my closest friends and family. People have been very generous in the past and have donated food, toiletries, gifts and even money for the young people. 

This year I have had to do things differently which is why I have set up this fundraising page. The global pandemic is set to have a devastating impact on youth homelessness in the UK.

As the harshest time of year approaches, with your support and donations The Y Charity can offer these young people the amenities they need at Christmas alongside a safe place to call home and help them create a positive future. 

£10 could buy a welcome pack for someone with no belongings.  

£80 could help a young person get job ready with clothes or equipment.

£275 could support a young person who has suffered abuse or trauma. 

Any amount YOU can give will help a young person this Christmas.
