How does my donation help?
Your generosity allows for us to provide vital support to children and young people across Sussex and Surrey. Each donation helps us fund incredible projects like our Youth Advice Centres and YMCA WiSE, which are in place specifically to help young people overcome crisis and find much-needed support. We believe that all young people deserve to feel safe and supported. By donating, you are helping us in our mission to transform young lives.
