Recently we have supported children to attend camps, holiday programmes, gymnastics, preschool and swimming lessons. This has made a huge positive difference to families experiencing unemployment, financial difficulties, illness, abuse, behavioural issues and lack of family support.
The feedback received shows that the young people who have participated in these programmes have gained confidence, learnt new skills, experienced increased self-esteem and independence …and enjoyed being kids!
Here are some examples how your donation can help
$20 Provides a child with one day attendance at a YMCA holiday programme
$50 Will buy a 10 session concession card for the never2old programme
$100 Pays the fee for one term for the Y-Kids programme
