We believe in creating supportive, inclusive and energising communities, where young people can truly belong, contribute and thrive.Serving Somerset since 1870.
Volunteers give more than just their time; they provide the skills and energy to enable all of the work YMCA is able to achieve.
Today, on this #VolunteerRecognitionDay, we say a huge thank you to all those who make a difference.

Snow and freezing temperatures are back across the country. This can be life-threatening for people sleeping rough.
If you see someone sleeping rough, please send an alert at https://t.co/iciQZ9PXy2 so that we can connect them to vital support.

Apprenticeships provide a valuable pathway to a successful career, but not everyone has equal access.
YMCA helps more than 619 young people bridge the gap with apprenticeship programs. Everyone deserves a fair chance.

Feel Good Friday!
Recently, as part of the support for one of our residents and her son, our team took them on a visit to a soft play centre! 😄
They both had a wonderful time and it has become one of their favourite mum and baby activities.

Today is supposedly Blue Monday and whether it is real or not, the health and well-being of our teams at YMCA DG are always a priority.
Every member of our team is important to us, which is why when you start your role at YMCA DG, you get access to a range of benefits.
Wooden House Nursery have been busy this week, exploring lots of exciting things!
They have learnt about hibernation, read stories, played interactive games and explored the French Festival of Kings.
Wooden House are also excited to be launching a new Baby room on Monday!
Community meals like these also take place at our social enterprise, The Beach Hotel Minehead every 1st and 3rd Wednesday of the month! 🍽️
Come and join us if you can, we’ve got great food, a warm space and friendly faces 😌
It’s lovely to see @YMCANTyneside serve up their first free Community Meal for anyone in their local neighbourhood to come together, eat and chat with others.
Community Meals are a regular monthly event and currently take place in @ymcans, @YMCALincs, and @YMCADerbyshire 💙
Recently, one of our residents went on a trip to the circus, after wanting to go for such a long time!
They had a great time and our support worker said: “It was so nice to support an opportunity like this and for someone who has never experienced it.” 😄🎪
