During this , we want to highlight how volunteering can not only alleviate loneliness for individuals, but by volunteering in our YMCA shops you can help us raise much needed funds to help lots of other people too.

Through our youth clubs and community activities, we help to create a sense of belonging for people. 💛🙌

According to , the organisers of Loneliness Awareness Week, feeling lonely can lead to depression, anxiety, disrupted sleep and stress. 🫂

It can also be a factor in heart disease, increased blood pressure and degenerative brain diseases such as Alzheimer’s. ✨
