Ripon YMCA is a local charity which provides extremely important support and services to a range of young people from all diverse backgrounds and circumstances and who are facing homelessness. The Ripon YMCA provides accommodation for up to 22 people and supports them with individual skills and training, personalised support and ensures they are free from isolation and danger. Ripon YMCA is an independent charity and relies upon its own funding and support. I have seen first hand the services they provide and through supporting them have witnessed the hard work and dedication the staff put in to provide such a critical service . I will be taking part in this event to raise awareness and as much money as possible, so please dig deep and support such a worthy cause!
