Cheltenham YMCA
(UK, 1079951) Browse events
YTD Raised: £4,149.39Homelessness 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.

The Wallich
(UK, 1004103) Browse events
YTD Raised: £4,063.49Established in 1978, The Wallich is a homelessness charity dedicated to helping the most excluded people in our society; vulnerable people with multiple and complex needs who often cannot access any other accommodation or support services. We work together with other agencies and government to deliver innovative solutions to homelessness that are as diverse as the people we help. We help people to find the accommodation and support, which will enable them to live safer, happier and more independent lives. We support over 1000 people a day, employ some 200 people and operate more than 50 projects across 15 Local Authorities in Wales. For those people who are forced to sleep rough, our Rough Sleepers Intervention Teams will provide a hot breakfast and help to get off the streets. If poor mental health or drink and/or drug use is ruining a person’s life, one of our specialist supported accommodation projects will help them find stability. If someone is in danger of losing their home due to family breakdown, debt or health problems, our Tenancy Support Services will try to prevent them from becoming homeless. If renting a home is impossible due to lack of a deposit, our Bond Board Schemes will provide people who need help with a bond and secure them a place to live away from expensive and unstable temporary accommodation. The Wallich has succesfully housed many who have been street homeless, helped those with severe social problems and supported many people in rebuilding their lives after experiencing homelessness.
