Ways You Can Help

Single Gift

A cash gift today means we will be able to reach out to some of the hundreds of young people in our area who have no home to go to.

A donation of:

• £15 could provide an hour of counselling for a traumatised young person
• £25 could provide a night's emergency accommodation
• £40 could help pay for a half-day job search workshop to get a young person back
• £100 could help heat a YMCA hostel during the winter
• £500 could provide a residential training course to build confidence and gain skills

If you would like to make a donation, please send a cheque payable to Bridgwater YMCA to George Williams House, Friarn Avenue, Bridgwater, TA6 3RF

Regular Gift

A regular gift will enable us to provide longer term support, including basic life skills training, to enable young people develop into active, confident members of the community.

If you would like to become a regular giver and allow Bridgwater YMCA to recover the tax you have paid please call 01278 726041 or email Andrew.dodd@bridgwaterymca.org and ask for a form to be sent to you.

Your donation will enable us to provide young people with a safe place to stay and a solid foundation on which to build a new life. Thank you.
