Our Nominated Charities This Year
Each year, LLS supports a charity selected by the President with the aim of raising funds at various events that we host throughout the year.
Newly elected President Greg Hollingsworth has selected two charities for his presidential year 2024/2025: Lamp andThe YMCA Leicester.
Lamp
Lamp provides Independent Advocacy to the people of Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland. We support people to have their views and wishes heard at critical appointments, such as with their GP, Mental Health Team or during physical health consultations. Established in 1989, we are by your side, assisting you to access the services you need, at the right time, in the right place. Our skilled team of advocates understand the challenges of the mental and physical health system, and can challenge professionals on your behalf, if you feel you are unable to do this alone. Our skilled Information and Advice Officers can support you to find the right service for your circumstances and make onward referrals on your behalf. We aim to explore options and empower individuals to speak up and make sure that their voice is heard throughout their recovery journey.
The YMCA Leicester
We are a leading youth homelessness charity, working alongside some of the most vulnerable people in our Leicestershire community and help them grow. We believe every young person deserves a safe place to call home and the support they need to create lasting change in their lives.
