The Lewisham Mayor's Charity Winter Appeal for YLP

Support some of the most disadvantaged young people in Lewisham this Christmas.

The Mayor of Lewisham’s annual Winter Appeal is raising money to support the Young Lewisham Project who provide a safe and inclusive learning environment for young people who struggle to excel in mainstream education.

For this year's appeal Lewisham residents can donate to help us to provide festive gifts and resources for our young people to use at the project.

Here are some examples of what donations can help to provide:

£5 for a small grooming and toiletries care package for a young person.

£10 for a festive lunch for a young person.

£15 for a pair of boxing gloves for a young person.

£30 for bicycle lights for cycle safety.

£60 for a bicycle helmet and protective gloves for a young person.

£100 - £150 to renovate and service a bicycle as well as provide training on bicycle maintenance and road user safely.

£350 for brand new bicycle as well as providing training on bicycle maintenance and road user safely.

£1500 for a new a new MacbookPro for our media production studio to give young people a better opportunity to learn professional skills in order to better equip them for adult life.

Any and all support is massively appreciated and makes a huge difference to our young people here at the Young Lewisham Project.
