Help us bring
Young Carers to the
Young Carers Festival

Every year, YMCA Fairthorne Group collaborates with The Children’s Society to host the Young Carers Festival at Fairthorne Manor in Southampton. YCF gives these young people a chance to take a break from their responsibilities, make friends with others who understand and have their voices heard.

For our 27th year, we are looking for fundraising support from our local communities.

Leave a Legacy Gift

Leaving a gift in memory of a loved one is a wonderful way to remember and celebrate their life. There are a number of ways you might choose to do this.

Leaving a gift in memory of a loved one is a wonderful way to remember and celebrate their life. There are a number of ways you might choose to do this: asking friends and family to make donations in lieu of flowers, set up a tribute fund, enter a walk or race in their memory, make a one-off donation in memory of a loved one.

The process is simple and easy, and you can always change your mind later. We recommend you speak to your solicitor to ensure your wishes will be carried out exactly as you intend.
