YMCA Newcastle

Who we are

YMCA believes in fairness and opportunity.

There are essential building blocks for a full and rewarding life: A safe home, acceptance, guidance, friendship, physical and mental health, academic support, employment skills, and access to real opportunities.

Many young people have never known these things; other people have lost one or more as they grew up, but we all need them. All of us.

At YMCA, we provide these critical foundations for a fresh, strong start for young people and a better quality of life in the community.
