Make Christmas Magical for Young People in Norfolk

Would you like to help change a young person’s life this Christmas with YMCA Norfolk?

Christmas can be a really difficult time for our young people and families, and a gift can go a long way. Your contribution means they won’t have to go without this year, and they feel cared for and supported by their community.

This Christmas, YMCA Norfolk is on a mission to raise £10,000 to bring warmth, joy, and hope to young people and families who need it most.

With your help, we’ll provide:

  • A festive Christmas dinner for those who might otherwise go without
  • Thoughtful gifts to show they’re remembered and valued
  • Ongoing practical, developmental, and wellbeing support throughout the season and into the new year

We’re calling on kind-hearted individuals, local businesses, and our incredible partners to come together and make this Christmas truly special.

“Christmas used to be the hardest time of year. Everyone talks about warmth and family, but when you’re homeless, it’s just another cold night alone. I didn’t expect anything — not a meal, not a gift, not even kindness. But then YMCA Norfolk stepped in. They gave me more than food and shelter… they gave me hope. For the first time in years, I felt seen. I felt like I mattered. That support didn’t just change my Christmas — it changed my life.”
