With a gift in your will…
You could change the course of a young person’s life – bringing them out of hopelessness and despair, and giving them the chance of a better future.

An extraordinary gift, an extraordinary legacy
Read about how one mans vision and generosity provided an amazing countryside getaway, as well as creating a significant annual surplus which is gifted to YMCA to underpin their work with the most vulnerable and disadvantaged young people in the North East.
With a gift in your Will, you can welcome a young person onto YMCA’s family. You’ll give them a safe place to say, emotional support to get over what they’ve been through, and the training they need to build a bright future for themselves.
“I have all the support from YMCA housing and GYM staff and I’m finally heading in the right direction. I now have a much healthier relationship with my family. YMCA is very good and without it I don’t know where I would be or what path I would have taken.”
Nick, supported by YMCA North Tyneside.
“I first encountered YMCA during the War. I will never forget the effort they made to ease the lives of young soldiers like me. I don’t know how we would have got through those difficult times without their spiritual support.”
Angus Williams, World War II veteran.
