“The mission of the YMCA is defined by the inspiration of our Christian heritage to see the transformation of our world through social action, character development, excellence of service and people empowerment. I am proud to be part of it.

“We are an inclusive organisation. Whoever you are and whatever challenges you face, if there’s one thing we’d like you to know it is that you are welcome here.”
