To ensure our services continue to meet demand, YMCAs in Wales are pleased to be working in partnership with event organisers Cardiff YMCA Housing Association and Land Securities Group Plc. (owners of St Davids 2) to host our very first Sleep Easy event in Wales.
We are looking for volunteers to spend a night outside to highlight the issue of homelessness and raise funds to support our work. Sleep Easy is a national YMCA fundraising event, where people sleep rough so others don't have to. Participants are asked to brave the cold, sleep in a cardboard box for one night and get sponsored for their efforts - so please, dust off your sleeping bags and come and join us. It should be a challenging and eye opening experience.
The Youth for Fair Trade Resource Pack is a global youth work resource. It has been designed by Y Care International to help youth workers connect young people to the key values of fairness and equality; to explore what fair trade means to them; and to support them to take action to make the world a fairer place.
Following the announcement in the last newsletter of the successful partnership with Global Exchange, an International Youth Exchange Programme to enhance local communities through youth volunteering, 10 volunteers from the UK are currently working on projects in Mozambique.
