Proud to be #Southampton tonight!

Proud of our community - still anxious about what the rest of the night may bring towards my many young people living in the centre of the city but I’ve taken every precaution I can think of!

Sleepless night maybe 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

@KeyCities @lornafielker Lorna, would it be at all possible to arrange for you to come and visit YMCA Southampton to chat about this please? We have some viable solutions for young people in our city that we would love to discuss with you please!

Did you know a classic 70s song was inspired by the inclusive community spirit at YMCA?

The 1978 hit celebrates our welcoming and supportive environment, offering a 'place you can go' for LGBTQ+ youth and those in need.

The team at @Specsavers came to George Williams House today and completely cleared part of our garden space, ready for our raised planters (they fundraised for) for kitchen garden for our young people who have experienced homelessness to grow and eat healthily and sustainably!

Family is community.

Family is support.

Family includes the ones we create, and the ones we choose.

Family is YMCA.

@AmandaJBaAn @lornafielker @Coopersphere @harbourlights You've totally got to watch #thebeautifulgame on Netflix.

With the beautiful line of 'we don't save ourselves, we save each other' within it The film has a sharp lens on homelessness and belonging. Right up my street 😉

Every young person should have access to a safe and stable home.

Investment in affordable housing, with a strategy to end youth homelessness reaching those most in need, gives more people a chance at independence.
