“I’ve been living at YMCA for about a year and three months. Before I got onto the Heritage traineeship, I didn’t know a lot about history and I wasn’t really interested. But I gave it a chance… I went for it and I really enjoyed it!” Nurra, resident
“YMCA has given me stability, that’s the big thing I can say and that’s a positive. YMCA helped me a lot, so if anyone is in a similar situation and looking for a safe place to stay, then I’d definitely recommend YMCA, because otherwise, you’ll be in a very tough spot.” Munty, resident
