Partner Spotlight

Bupa Foundation

We’re so grateful to companies like Bupa Foundation who have chosen to become a Level Four Partner for Change. Here’s what they had to say about our partnership:

"Our partnership with YMCA DownsLink Group has been incredibly rewarding. By supporting the food market and attending the Youth Matters Awards, we’ve seen first-hand the positive impact on the community. Together, we’re fostering a brighter future for young people."

"We’ve proudly supported YMCA DownsLink Group and the vital work they do in our local communities for a number of years, through corporate membership and fundraising activities. Recently, we’ve given young people paid work placements and training opportunities at our company. We recognise that these young people face additional challenges and barriers to the workplace and hope that in some small way we can help them fulfil their potential.”

-GM Monk

"John Lewis and Partners in Chichester are very happy to have the opportunity to support and sponsor a room as part of Partners for Change. The work they do to get a young adults back on their feet is brilliant and a well worth cause."

“Children and young people in Sussex and Surrey represent our area’s future. YMCA DownsLink Group plays an essential role in providing them with accommodation, support and helping them feel valued and secure. We’re immensely proud to be a Partner for Change, backing the charity’s work in enabling children and young people to thrive.

-Trident

"We don’t believe anyone should be homeless and it's even more tragic when that person hasn’t even reached adulthood. Living in Brighton and brewing locally, supporting a local charity was important to me and I can't think of a better charity to support. The youth of today are tomorrow's entrepreneurs and we hope we can help make a difference and allow YMCA DownsLink Group to do what they do best in offering support, stability and a roof over the head of those that really need it, at a time in life when they should never have to deal with homelessness."

- Big Hug Brewing

ABC Translations wanted to support a local charity where our language skills would be useful, as that enables us to make a bigger contribution. We are delighted to be able to provide translation support to YMCA DownsLink Group to help them achieve their goals in providing care and accommodation to vulnerable young people across Sussex and Surrey, especially where the language barrier creates additional problems.

- ABC Translations

"As a company, we understand that the future rests on our youth getting a fair deal as they grow into mature adults so any contribution we can make to improve their chances is an essential part of our social responsibility.” 

- Audio Note

“We want to support a local charity that helps vulnerable young people in our community who find themselves in difficulty, who are at the edges of society or are at risk of exploitation. We are really pleased that we are able to continue to support YMCA DownsLink Group in their latest projects, that will give young people living in their centres the tools to live independently."

- Pryer Construction

“ROCC believe as a business we have a duty to support our communities and especially those who are most in need. Personally, with first-hand experience of a difficult upbringing and my own mental health challenges throughout my life, I believe we all need to play our part in helping future generations find and receive the support they need to enable them to fulfil their potential.”

- ROCC

Having volunteered as a mentor with YMCA, I have an appreciation of the need to prevent youth homelessness. And as a local business, Bluebell Digital are proud to support YMCA DownsLink Group, helping put young people facing homelessness back on the path to independence."
