Southend YMCA provides supported accommodation, counselling, life skills coaching and wellbeing activities for vulnerable young people at risk of homelessness. Our aim is to provide them with the skills they need to live independently after leaving Newlands and enable them to have brighter futures.

All donations to Southend YMCA go towards supporting the local young people of Southend on Sea.

The Sleep Easy challenge asks you to spend one night sleeping somewhere other than your bed in order to raise these critical funds.

Its simple to participate in this event, which takes place on Friday, 11 March! Simply grab a sleeping bag and sleep somewhere other than your bed, such as your garden, living room, hallway, or another safe space.
