YOU can help YPAS build for the future

YPAS is appealing for support for much-needed renovation of its Bolton Street home, which is now more than a century old, to improve its facilities for children and young people and make the building more accessible to all.

CAN YOU HELP?

• We need a new fridge for the drop-in - could you donate a fridge or some money to buy one?
• We need a new toilet sink - Can you supply or install one? Do you know a qualified plumber who could donate their services?
• We need an accessible kitchen - a donation of £1000 would enable us to deliver one-to-one sessions in shopping and catering on a budget, building independence and life skills for young people leaving care.

OTHER WAYS YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE:

• £40 would provide a one-to-one counselling session for a child in distress
• £250 would provide a young person with one-to-one and group support around confidence issues arising from bullying, bereavement or abuse.

To find out more about how you can support YPAS's work with vulnerable children and young people, visit our Support Us section, call Helen on 0151 203 0818 or email support@ypas.org.uk

On behalf of all the children, young people and staff at YPAS:

THANK YOU!
