Amplicon renews its sponsorship of the YMCA DownLink for a second year!

In 2022, Amplicon became the first corporate partner to sponsor a room for YMCA DownLink Group. Since then, 14 other businesses have joined in sponsoring bedrooms across Sussex and Surrey. Amplicon is always looking to engage and support local charities throughout Sussex, and today announces its sponsorship renewal for the second time.

YMCA DownsLink Group aids vulnerable young people aged 16-25 in Surrey and Sussex, offering shelter to over 700 youths at risk of homelessness every year. With up to 200 beds, they are the primary voluntary sector provider of supported housing for young people in the region. Amplicon has learned about the remarkable chaplaincy sessions project, where weekly communal meals foster a sense of community, family, and friendship within the housing projects. These sessions also provides one-on-one support in a relaxed and confidential setting.

Unfortunately, local authorities have reduced youth services spending by 73% since 2010. As a charity without government funding, YMCA struggles to provide essential services, like therapy for young individuals affected by sexual exploitation.

Amplicon remains committed to supporting this remarkable charity, hoping to inspire more businesses to contribute and aid YMCA during these challenging times.
