How can you help?

Your donations and assistance as volunteers or as fundraisers really do make a difference, helping us to support vulnerable young people throughout the borough of Hounslow! 

Thanks to your support, last year HYCS supported 900+ young people in schools, youth offending services and at our centre, offering an incredible 5000+ counselling sessions. 

As a registered charity  we rely on the generous donations and support of individuals, companies and trusts to continue our work and to be able to offer a free service for 11-25 year olds when they need it most.

Can you help to support our work by donating, fundraising or volunteering?

The Role of a Trustee
Becoming a charity Trustee is one of the most important roles in the voluntary sector. Our Trustees help to give direction to the charity and are ultimately responsible for its activities. The Trustees' skills and experience are invaluable to the further development and growth of HYCS.
