A Welcome Surprise
In addition to the ongoing contributions from Sainsbury’s, the housing team were pleasantly surprised to find out that Sainsbury’s had also been busy collecting money donations in store and raised £1000 for YMCA North Tyneside’s young people.
A huge thank you to Sainsbury’s for their ongoing support and unforeseen fundraising efforts. Thanks to their £1000 contribution, the housing team are able to continue with the Fareshare Scheme which provides up to 100kg of food to YMCA every week, helping maintain the ongoing food education sessions with young people.
Right now, we have over 30 homeless young people in supported accommodation and right now, we need your help.
Please donate here. And help us change the lives of vulnerable young people.
