YMCAs awarded more than £7 million as part of the Youth Investment Fund. These announcements form part of the Government’s ‘National Youth Guarantee’, which will ensure every young person aged 11-18 in England has access to regular clubs and activities youthinvestmentfund.org.uk/n…

Supported housing is designed to be a temporary aid. YMCAs across the country are experiencing a bottleneck, with current residents feeling trapped by the ‘impossibility’ of moving on to independent living due to barriers further exacerbated by the #CostOfLivingCrisis.

"The planned redevelopment of YMCA's building in the heart of Barnsley will enable YMCA [...] to continue to provide a safe, welcoming and inclusive space for children and young people locally." #YMCA | @YMCABarnsley ymca.org.uk/latest-news/ymca…
