Story
Youth 2000 has had a huge impact on my life and my journey back into the faith. Through the retreats and events, the community, and the focus on the Mary and the Eucharist, Youth 2000 has enabled me to live out my faith daily and thus be transformed by the love of God. Growing up, I believed the faith to be dull, embarrassing, and confusing. But since coming back to the church and getting involved with Youth 2000 I can testify that the faith is anything but this. It is beautiful, transforming, and I can't imagine my life now not grounded in the Lord and surrounded by a community of believers. I'd love for more and more young people to truly experience an encounter with the Lord, to know Him and his great love for them, and to find that same peace, hope, and joy. I believe Youth 2000 is an incredible charity that engages young adults and helps create the space for them to know him, know his heart, and be transformed by him.
Youth 2000 offers retreats, festivals, local groups and formation programmes for 16-35 year olds. It creates opportunities for young people to both connect with other young Catholics, and with Christ and His Church.
For all donations up to £35,000, made before 01/08/2024, Youth 2000 will have them matched by a generous donor - doubling their impact!
Thank you for your support and generosity.
