Christmas can be a particularly difficult time for young people who have been through family breakdowns. We make sure that every young person living at YMCA Leicestershire receives a gift and a Christmas meal and activities so they won’t feel alone.
You can help by donating to our Christmas Fund or providing a gift, shoe box or items we can give to those in need year round. Thanks to our amazing supporters who contribute each year!
If you wish to wrap a gift please wrap the lid and box separately, as it’s really important that we can check the contents before they are given to a young person. Alternatively you could put items in a reusable tote bag. Please deliver your items by Wednesday 11th December 2025 and let us know when you are coming in advance by contacting [email protected].
Ideal Christmas gifts for our residents include:
We are very grateful to everyone who provides gifts each Christmas, but there are more ways to get involved too.
