What difference will you make?

Our service users expect a professional and kind service that is non-judgemental, friendly, resourceful and anonymous.  Our service users are from different social classes including students, employed, unemployed, or in training with different stories, from a regular, abusive or vulnerable background.  Some of them have no access to public funds, are considered hard-to-reach, homeless, or live in homes.  Some have addiction and mental health issues. Others are migrants, trafficked individuals, and people in domestic servitude, or engaged in sex work with health issues.  Some are teen moms or young parents, disabled, in relationships, poorly or not educated, and living with diseases and yet cannot access services normally, or there are no local services near them, hence MyHealthnet service bridging gaps in services young people need. Hence, fundraising is an integral part of our work. We will depend on your expertise in securing all forms of funding for our services. Your commitment, dedication and successful fundraising will help cover the capital cost to develop tailored service.  Your successful fundraising will enhance the quality of service.  * Improve access to free health social care, and education. * Helping MyHealthnet to support young people, to reduce the negative impact of their issues on their future.  * Saving the lives of users and their families * Promoting community health and wellbeing * Helping MyHealthnet to meet strategic and service aims and objectives * Your support means a lot to MyHealthnet members and communities served. * We cannot do our work without the backing that you will generate.  Helping Happy Achieving Youths.
