Our impact

Everyone should have access to life-changing opportunities.
Health and Wellbeing
In 2021/22 we helped 6,199 people to lead healthier lives through our health and wellbeing programmes.

We’re passionate about fostering an ethos of inclusivity and creating a welcoming space for our members across our two central London venues, YMCA Club and YMCA KX.

Our 96,876 square foot Club in the heart of Camden is an iconic anchor of the community. With a fitness and wellbeing community like no other, we have programmes for all people, all bodies, all ages and all levels. We believe in physical health for mental wellbeing, supporting those from 4 years old to 90 years old.

Education and Training
We helped 8,827 learners and apprentices nationwide, gain qualifications in 2021/22.

With a focus on equity and progression, our education pathways provide a variety of ways to shape the next generation, from Study Programmes to Pre-apprenticeships.

As an alternative to traditional routes, such as college or A-Levels, Central YMCA educational provision is often the first choice for learners—supporting pre-16 and 16-19-year-olds to develop skills and gain the necessary qualifications to secure a lasting career.
