YMCA Update

The YMCA in Central Milton Keynes provides a safe place to live for up to 242 people, aged 18-35, across their campus and move-on accommodation. Their pathway of support adopts a person-centred approach across three stages of accommodation – Supported, Shared and Independent.

Their Employment and Welfare fund helps to support young people to move to independence and find jobs and a safe place to stay.

The fund provides appropriate clothing for employment workshops or interviews.

At a recent employment event in partnership with Jury’s Inn, 3 residents were supported with items of clothing to wear for the event and it went very well. Similarly, a workshop held at a Holiday Inn took place and one resident is now in full-time employment there.
