On Friday 10th March I will be taking part in the YMCA Sleep Easy, and will be sleeping rough to raise awareness of youth homelessness.

Support for those facing homelessness has never been more vital, as the cost-of-living crisis and the uncertainty of the last few years affects us all.

YMCA Northumberland supports young people through regular youth drop-in sessions, detached work and targeted programmes. They work on preventing youth homelessness by providing non judgemental advice and guidance to tackle the root causes of homelessness.

All funds raised from Sleep Easy will support the YMCA Northumberland youth programme and make a real difference to young people in Northumberland.
