As Christmas approaches and temperatures drop, our teams are pulling together to raise awareness about youth homelessness. Over the coming weeks, we’ll be holding events and exhibiting a number of installations in the hope of generating funds which will allow us to continue doing the work we do for our local community, providing housing services and education for vulnerable young people facing homelessness.

With fewer people carrying around cash these days, YMCA North Tyneside is updating the way we take donations to ensure we can raise enough funds each year to continue the work we do with young people in North Tyneside. From the 10th of December, we’ll be unveiling our interactive installation on Chruch Way in North Shields where you can simply tap your card to donate £2 to our charity using a secure contactless donations system.
