YMCA DownsLink Group

YMCA DownsLink Group is a charity working to transform the lives of children and young people (16-24) across Sussex and Surrey.

We work to prevent youth homelessness and last year we gave a home to 1,094 young people every night. We also reach more than 7,000 children, young people and their families through our other services such as, counselling, support and advice, mediation and youth work, so that all young people can belong, contribute and thrive.

Many children and young people experience extraordinary challenges and adversity that can prevent their lives starting well. The ever-increasing level of risk and complexity they face has driven our services to be needed now more than ever before.
