About Us 

The YMCA is a global movement, the world’s oldest and largest youth charity, operating in over 120 countries and reaching more than 65 million people. In England and Wales, our federation comprises 85 independent YMCAs working locally to support young people to belong, contribute, and thrive. YMCA England & Wales acts as the national council, providing support, enabling development, and being a unified voice with Government and decision-makers. 

At YMCA, we focus on empowering young people while delivering a wide range of community-based services to meet local needs.

We are part of a worldwide movement with a strong and recognised presence in the UK.

 

Fundraising at YMCA England & Wales has three pillars:
