Well done and big thanks to all our 27 Challengers who have cycled to Paris (some in one day!) to raise just under £20k towards the YMCA’s new Housing Project currently being built in Redhill! @YMCAEastSurrey @YMCAEng_Wales @GetSurrey

Well done Mr Major for helping raise awareness of youth homelessness at the YMCA East Surrey SleepEasy on Friday night. Sleeping out all night in a cardboard box after making a speech at the R and B Sports Awards is going the extra mile! @RBBCMayor

"Life was very difficult before. You didnt just give me a place to stay but you gave me confidence to believe in myself."
Ali, one of our young residents, talks about how our #housing & support have given him an opportunity for a new life.
