Being out in the biting cold is horrible, even when you have a warm home to go to. So imagine being out there all night long, like Ben. Will you help YMCA provide a safe, warm room for homeless young people?

The twins putting in a shift as they do every week! Really impressed with the girls dedication and hard work over the lockdown period! Great stuff girls. P.s. they both got over 800 keepy-uppys with the squash rackets! And even then they had to stop to do some english work! 😅
