Why Support the YMCA?

The YMCA is a well-established charity, built on 150 thriving years of working with young people. We work to stabilise, excite, innovate and motivate, whilst never losing sight of our central focus of encouraging and inspiring young people to be the best that they can be.

We are the country's largest provider of accommodation to homeless and vulnerable young people. We are committed to offering support and guidance to young people, developing programmes of local relevance and national significance.

The structure of the YMCA allows for a range of partnerships: from volunteers, sponsorship of a specific event, to a charity of the year partnership.

Working Together

The YMCA recognises the invaluable support offered by the business sector and endeavours to work alongside companies in a professional partnership that embraces creativity.

We can arrange for your staff to visit us to find out more about what we do and to join in volunteering opportunities. The chance to see first hand the difference your support makes to the work of the YMCA can boost staff morale, motivation and understanding of why your company supports the YMCA.

We will provide a dedicated liaison manager to ensure that you are kept up-to-date with the work of the YMCA, facilitate meetings, events and PR and fundraising initiatives.

Our corporate team will work with you to create opportunities to match your company's strategy and our needs.

Areas in which we can work together are:

  • Employee Involvement
  • Payroll Giving
  • Cause Related Marketing
  • Sponsorship
  • Charity of the Year
