YMCA Plymouth triumphs at National Awards
We’re delighted to share that your YMCA is officially YMCA of the Year! We recently headed to the national finals of the Youth Matters Awards 2023 in London, where not only did we win the top YMCA trophy, but also saw one of our inspiring former Discovery College students, Craig McKenna, win ‘Young Achiever of the Year.’
We owe a big debt of thanks to you for all your votes that helped us reach the final, and of course for simply being part of our amazing ‘YMCA of the Year’ community.
