Fundraising for YMCA Exeter
Story
As we set up our home together, we'd love to support those who don't have a home of their own. Before you get carried away with our alternative John Lewis gift list, please consider making a donation to Exeter YMCA on our behalf:
- £7 could cover the average cost of a Job Club travel bursary; paying for a homeless person to get to their job interview via public transport.
- £20 could cover the cost of an Exeter YMCA resident’s weekly one-to-one support session: helping a young person to address issues such as budgeting; employment and education; social networks; personal identity; looking after myself; alcohol and drugs; physical and sexual health; mental and emotional health; managing disabilities; respecting others; maintaining accommodation and anything else which the young person may want to discuss.
- £50 could cover the cost of two hours of counselling for a young resident wishing to work through some deeper emotional issues.
- £75 could cover the cost of running a ‘Cooking on a Budget’ course. The course teaches our young residents (who often have no cooking skills!) how to cook and eat healthily and on a tight budget. £75 covers tutor time and the cost of food for each session.
- £100 could cover the cost of re-equipping a bedroom when a resident moves out to prepare it for the next young person. This includes purchasing new cooking equipment, bedding, light painting and decorating etc.
Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity. It’s the most efficient way to donate – saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
Thank you for supporting us in this.
Love Dan & Laura
