Story
Every child deserves the chance to have fun, explore new skills, and lead happy and fulfilled lives.
Sadly, this is not the case for everyone.
This is why Central YMCA offers a range of activities to children of all ages: playschemes, sports lessons, mentoring and study programmes - all designed to ensure that all young people become the best version of themselves.
I found social situations really hard, but [Central YMCA] has really helped me develop my confidence. [...] I'm not as nervous or anxious when I go out now.
How can you help?
Every donation bring us one step closer to transforming the lives of young people across the country.
- £5 could supply breakfast to a young person at our education facilities;
- £25 could pay for new sport equipment for the kids;
- £50 could provide a sports lesson to 20 children;
- £100 could cover the costs of 10 mentoring sessions for a young girl.
My progress being at Central YMCA has helped me overcome my anxiety. Before, I wouldn't be able to get the bus here and back without support.
