Summary

YWCA is the leading charity working with the most disadvantaged young women in England and Wales.

YWCA work with girls and women aged 11 to 30. This is the age range where there is greatest need and where YWCA can make the greatest difference. YWCA work with the most disadvantaged young women in England and Wales. Our work focuses on the hardest to reach and the most difficult to hear. As well as poverty, they may face other issues like drug addiction, violence or racism.
