Young People We’ve Supported
“I wouldn’t have been able to get through what I have gone through, without the help and support from Jo and Tessa. I am extremely thankful and grateful to have had them by my side.”
“When I first contacted the YMCA, I was shy and not very confident. Now, thanks to them, I have a full-time job, am living independently and my family is so much closer. For this I will always be grateful.”
“Since I’ve been here, I have got my SIA License, passed my driving test, been studying to get my maths & English and am applying for jobs.”
