On an annual basis, we accommodate over 900 young people every year, provide community-based support, learning and advice services to over 5,000 young people and our specialist therapeutic services work with over 7,000 children, young people and families.

We want to be an organisation that is strongly rooted in the local communities in which we work, reflecting the ‘DNA’ of the YMCA that we are a ground up rather than top down Movement, where YMCAs come out of and are supported through local communities.

Alongside the local approach we also want to be an innovating organisation, developing specialist services that support our vision of young people belonging, contributing and thriving.
