Could you give up your comfy bed for one night and swap it for a cardboard box and a hard floor?💤

YMCA Worcestershire is calling on local people, businesses, schools and community groups to take part in or sponsor YMCA Sleep Easy 2026.

Across England and Wales, a young person aged 16-24 is assessed as homeless or at risk of homelessness every 8 minutes. That equates to 7 young people every hour, 176 every day and more than 1,200 every week!

Sleep Easy helps raise vital funds and awareness for youth homelessness and we need all the help we can get 🙏

To discuss sponsorship or donations of cardboard and resources please email

💻 🤩 DIGITAL HUB HERE ON SITE 🤩 💻

💻✨ More ways to connect, learn, and grow at Willow Trees! ✨💻

Thanks to a generous donation of 19 laptops from YMCA Europe and the HP HOPE Initiative, our service users and wider community now have greater access to digital opportunities.

These laptops are already making a real difference—supporting everything from CV writing and job searching to training, assignments, and exploring new qualifications. It’s all about building skills, confidence, and brighter futures 🌱

📍 Introducing our digital hub at Willow Trees Community Centre !
Anyone can drop in during the week and speak to our reception team to get started.
This investment goes far beyond technology. It helps us create more inclusive and accessible services, supports our team to work more effectively, and removes barriers to digital access across our community.

🙏 A huge thank you to YMCA Europe and HP for making this possible—your support is opening doors and changing lives.
