Help us to build a better future for vulnerable people in the Bournemouth, Poole and Christchurch communities and across Dorset.
Your donation will make a real difference to people's lives.
Every contribution matters, whatever the amount you can afford.
Your donation will help us to change people’s lives by providing opportunities and personalised support for children, families and young people with disabilities. Also, by providing homeless individuals with a place to stay and the tools they need to turn their lives around.
£5 will provide a hot meal for a vulnerable person
£50 will provide an emergency food/toiletries parcel for a resident moving on
£500 will go a long way towards helping a homeless resident move back to independent living
£5,000 would fund 100 free counselling sessions for people in need
£50,000 would enable the YMCA to continue to help young people with disabilities to reach their full potential, via our Chatterbox project

``I donate to YMCA Bournemouth on a monthly basis and am very happy to do so. I've worked with the charity first-hand and know both the passion that goes into their efforts and a number of the people who have benefited from their support. It truly is a very worthwhile cause.``
