YMCA Bournemouth are hugely grateful for the contribution made by volunteers across the organisation.
There are numerous ways in which you can support us with your time, whether it’s volunteering for one-off tasks or taking regular volunteering duties with our youth, family and relationships, building services, marketing, sports and leisure, supported housing or chaplaincy departments.
People choose to volunteer for a number of reasons. For some it offers the chance to give something back to the community. For others it allows them to develop new skills or build on existing experience to benefit their careers.
Whatever the motivation, volunteering with YMCA Bournemouth is both challenging and hugely rewarding. Why not give it a try? You will be made very welcome.

Chaplaincy Support Volunteer
Right now, our chaplaincy team want to expand the support they offer. We currently run sessions to engage, encourage and come alongside residents at our Westover Road site. But we want to offer pastoral support across even more days of the week. Could you help us?
Chaplaincy volunteers are vital to our work and play an active role in support of our paid chaplains. They assist us to deliver activities, provide pastoral support to individuals, help on retreats and engage with our weekly prayers. Its challenging yet rewarding.

Walking Football Volunteer
Our chaplaincy team have now started a walking football group.
They meet each Monday morning at the YMCA owned and run Junction Sports & Leisure Centre, Broadstone.
Up to ten men now attend and enjoy a fun, relaxed kick about followed by refreshments in the onsite café. Could you help us with this activity by becoming a walking football volunteer, focused on engaging and supporting the men who currently attend?
