Cheltenham YMCA
(UK, 1079951) Browse events
YTD Raised: £5,789.87Homelessness is devastating, destroying lives and taking away all hope for the future. At Cheltenham YMCA we are committed to helping people at their time of greatest need. We provide a warm bed, a hot shower and, most importantly, a place where they feel safe and secure. Our support team works with each person, guiding, encouraging, supporting and enabling them to return to education, take up vocational training, seek out volunteering opportunities and employment, with the ultimate goal being independent living in the community. Sadly, in recent years we have had to turn away some of the most vulnerable in our society as we do not have the rooms or resources to support them all – many of the people who come to us for help are just 16 or 17 years of age, although we accommodate single people who are much older. Generally homelessness is on the rise and the number of people being accepted as homeless in Cheltenham rose by a massive 109% between 2010 and 2011, and then by a further 78% in 2012. All predictions suggest that this increasing trend is likely to continue. In order to meet this anticipated increased demand and to ensure that we do not have to turn away those who need our help, Cheltenham YMCA has embarked upon an ambitious redevelopment programme, increasing our current provision from 56 rooms to 98. The first phase of this ambitious plan commenced in October 2012. It involves the demolition of our 1950s north wing accommodation block, to be replaced with 73 new, modern en suite rooms. Some of these will be self-contained apartments; others in clusters of 6 or 8 will share communal kitchen and living/dining areas. The cost of this initial phase is £4.1million. We have already raised over 85% of this, but still need £600,000. By making a donation now, you will be playing a vital role in ensuring that in future no vulnerable young person need be anxious about being turned away as there is no room for them at the YMCA. Thank you.

YTD Raised: £5,242.00Al-Mizan Charitable Trust is a UK funder that supports disadvantaged individuals and families living in poverty through small grants and interest-free loans of up to £500.Recently we funded 24 year old Layla, who is a refugee from war-torn Congo, where she was raped by a militia group at the age of 15 years. She fled her home country, with her grandmother, after her family were killed. Settled in the UK, she married a few years ago, but her husbance was violent towards her. After becoming pregnant, she fled her husband’s home, afraid that her husband’s regular beatings would harm her unborn child. She now lives in a hostel, sharing a room with a crack addict. Layla works 25 hours a week on minimum wage as a cleaner, earning just £152 per week (gross), struggling to meet her basic living costs. She is also paying back the loan for her grandmother’s funeral costs, who passed away last year. She wants to go to college, to improve her English, but government subsidies for ESOL classes have now been cut. She applied to the Trust for £200.Although the UK benefits from a welfare system, the sheer reality is that many fall through the gaps, or simply do not have enough to survive. We need your help to give needy individuals and families, the chance to break the vicious cycle of poverty.
