We help children and young people have a fair chance to be who they want to be. We do this by providing a safe home, increasing life skills and self-confidence, and improving emotional wellbeing and mental health. Each year, we support thousands of children and young people up to the age of 25 across Sussex and Surrey. We offer support in three service areas:
- Housing provision and sustaining accommodation
- Specialist information, advice and support
- Emotional wellbeing and mental health
We are a member of the YMCA Federation of England & Wales and are guided by their vision of ‘transforming communities, so all young people can belong, contribute & thrive’. This vision reflects the original Christian foundation of the YMCA movement, but with a clear emphasis on being an inclusive organisation. Our values - we welcome all, we inspire, we support, and we speak out - guide us in all our actions.
