A safe, affordable home can change a young person's future.

That's why we're asking supporters to spend just a few minutes sending a digital postcard to their MP. You can choose a real young person's story, highlight the impact of affordable housing, and help build support for 10,000 new homes.

When we looked out the window of YMCA Coffee at the Clock every afternoon, we saw hundreds of young people walking home from school. We wanted to create somewhere safe, positive and welcoming for them. Today, that vision has become the YMCA Youth Cafe, which welcomes around 80 young people every week!

The Youth Cafe is just one example of the fantastic initiative we're blessed to have in our Black Country team, to create valuable spaces in partnership with local organisations.

Please support the wider work of YMCA Black Country Group by voting for us in YMCA's Youth Matters Awards.
