🎄 Lisburn YMCA Christmas Toy Appeal 🎁

Over the past few weeks, young people at Lisburn YMCA have been taking part in the Pause Project, a youth homelessness awareness and intervention programme.

As part of this project, we are running a Christmas Toy Appeal for young people aged 11–18 (male & female) who are at risk of, or are experiencing, homelessness.

We are looking for donations such as:
✨ Vouchers
✨ Gift sets
✨ Perfumes
…and more!

Your support can help show these young people that they are thought about and cared for this Christmas.

📍 Please drop off your donations at Lisburn YMCA by Friday, 19th December.

Let’s make this Christmas a little brighter for those who need it most! 💛
