The Worcestershire YMCA is a charity which supports and helps young local homeless and vulnerable people. We house 137 people across Worcestershire in our Foyer and Hostel. The reason for writing this status is we are currently facing county council cuts of up to 50% which will drastically reduce the services we offer to homeless people. The impact of this could result in higher numbers of people living on the streets, increased costs to police and health services and more unneeded pressure on social housing. As the work we do at the YMCA assists homeless people in accessing services which can help them towards a bigger and brighter future. We hope that with peoples help from this online petition you could help us gain recognition and highlight the importance of the YMCA Worcester. I as an 'Administrative Consultation Volunteer' am pleading for you to help us fight against cuts being imposed, so we can carry on providing a brighter future to homeless and vulnerable people.
