what we do

YMCA is a local charity dedicated to helping transform the lives of vulnerable young people throughout North Tyneside. We do this by providing a number of services for the public which helps us sustain our charitable outcomes. We currently house 24 young people in our supported accommodation and provide ongoing education and training to help them learn new skills and thrive as individuals.

YMCA DAY NURSERY

As well as providing a safe and caring environment for children to learn YMCA Day Nursery strive to support families providing help and guidance for children and their guardians.

HEALTH &
WELLBEING

Whilst providing open access facilities for the general community to participate in, YMCA Gym targets young people and people with more complex health needs.

SUPPORTED ACCOMMODATION

YMCA North Tyneside provides a safe environment where young people learn to thrive as individuals and contribute to their local community through various training programmes.

YOUTH WORK

 Our children and young people programmes provide ample opportunities for young people to learn, develop and try new experiences they wouldn’t usually have access to.

COMMUNITY

Our community work has expanded as we learn more about what our communities need from us. Our community meals have seen some of the biggest social impact.
