Become a Friend!

We have just launched a new Friends Group to bring together our supporters all over London.

If you would like to become a Friend, please also visit Virgin Money Giving and make a donation (we ask for a minimum of £2 per month, but the amount is up to you).  Then, and this is the crucial bit, in the ‘Message’ box write “Friend” and your e-mail address. We can then add you to our data base and include you in the range of benefits that we plan to offer our Friends.

These will include:

  • regular e-mail updates on our news and activities;
  • invitations to LYR events and to other exciting opportunities offered exclusively to our Friends;
  • a chance to feel part of the ideas process, and fund-raising activities, of our young and lively charity.
