YMCA Plymouth is an education, health & families charity, serving young people and our community. We are guided by a friendly & personable approach where all people can belong, contribute and thrive.
We are a local and independent charity affiliated to the federation of YMCAs in England & Wales.
Our services are primarily delivered across two sites; our main centre on Honicknowle Lane, Plymouth and our satellite facility, Torpoint & Rame Community Sports Centre.
Our Purpose & Values
YMCA believes in fairness and opportunity. There are essential building blocks for a full and rewarding life: a safe home; acceptance; guidance; friendship; physical and mental health; academic support; employment skills; and access to real opportunities.
Many young people have never known these things; other people have lost one or more as they grew up, but we all need them.
All of us. At YMCA, we provide these critical foundations for a fresh, strong start for young people and a better quality of life in the community.
