Are you interested in giving a larger donation?
If you’re in a position to provide a more significant donation, below are just some examples of what your generous donations enable GMYN to achieve and improve the lives of young people:
- £500 could provide one young person with essential equipment such as tools, university books, or a uniform that enables them to begin a new training course, access further education or work.
- £1000 could provide a young person with weekly one-to-one support for 12 months from a GMYN support worker to help them work through any trauma or social and emotional barriers they are experiencing.
- £2500 could support one young person to engage in our work readiness programme over 12 months, where they can develop the skills, resilience and access the networks they need to engage in new training and work opportunities.
- £5000 supports one young person for their duration at GMYN’s service provision, averaging three years. This includes one-to-one support, guidance and advice, outdoor residentials, and access to various social activities that improve wellbeing, enhance skills and move them towards training and employment opportunities.
