How your money helps
At YWCA we are grateful for every donation we receive. Here is how your money can help girls and young women from disadvantaged communities:
£5 enables a young woman to attend a literacy, numeracy or IT skills session to help her get back into education or improve her chances of finding employment.
£7 enables a young mum or mum-to-be to attend a drop-in session where she will find support and information to help her look after herself and her baby.
£15 pays for a young woman who has been trafficked into this country for the sex industry to have a translator so she can benefit from support, information and training opportunities.
£20 provides a young woman with one-to-one counselling so she can talk through her problems and get advice and information to find a solution that’s right for her.
£50 means a young woman can attend a course on parenting,sexual health or coping with anxiety giving her the skills and support to become the person she wants to be.
£100 pays for a YWCA tutor to deliver an 8 week course to teach women with learning disabilities about health, life choices and the right to say no.
£1,000 allows YWCA to work with young women upon release from prison, providing encouragement, advice, support and training in order to prevent re-offending and help them find jobs.
How we spend your money
90p is spent directly on our work with girls and women at our centres, and on our policy, research and campaigning work to bring about positive and lasting change for thousands of young women across England and Wales.
8p is invested to generate funds in the future.
2p is spent on governance.
