As 2023 is slowly coming to an end, we’ve pulled together a compilation of young people’s stories from across the year to show the difference we can make.

Delivering and measuring positive outcomes for children and young people was the subject of our first Roundtable discussion event on Monday 27 November.

We were truly inspired at the national YMCA Youth Matters Awards on Friday evening. We were delighted to be joined by our three young finalists, as well as some of our staff members, partners and supporters.

Do you remember Mapalo? Last Christmas she was living in our supported accommodation after being made homeless at 18. Read Mapalo’s update about how she is getting on now at university.

Earlier this month, we were delighted to receive a generous donation of 16 brand new bikes to be shared amongst our residents.
