Story

As President of Burton & District Chamber of Commerce I am delighted to support the YMCA Sleepout 2024.

Homelessness has no boundaries. It could happen to me, it could happen to you, it could happen to anyone. Everyone has their own story and we are here to provide a safe place to call home, to listen and support those who are homeless and living in crisis.

Our wider services include family mediation, counselling, emergency foodbank, outreach, supported accommodation and furniture shops. We are a local charity helping and supporting those in Burton-on-Trent and across East Staffordshire. We support over 12,000 people each year with our vital work.

Burton upon Trent & District YMCA
Homelessness can happen to any one of us. It has no boundaries and lives & circumstances can change very quickly. No one wakes up & decides to be homeless, there are many reasons & life changing moments that can lead to sleeping rough on the street or sofa surfing night after night. We help people to change lives through a breadth of vital services. We provide homeless outreach, rough sleeper provision, emergency bed space, accommodation, family mediation, counselling, community foodbank, lunch club, support & engagement, complex needs support and have a number of furniture stores providing low cost quality furniture and new white goods. Thanks for supporting us & helping to raise much needed income. The impact of COVID-19 has been felt by everyone. Lives have changed, demand for our services has increased and our income has been significantly affected. We could not continue to do what we do without the help of others. Your help is never more needed than now - Thank you
