Children and Young People

YMCA Essex

Their work includes operating a nursery for children aged 2 – 5, out of school clubs, holiday programmes, youth groups, providing supported accommodation for young people, training opportunities, and more. 

A grant has helped them to provide moving in packs for young people in Colchester who were formerly homeless. These include essential household items such as bedding, towels, a microwave and cutlery, which helps to get them set up and to become self-sufficient.
