About us
Who we are
YMCA Leicestershire has a unique position in Leicester, with a history stretching back to 1883. We are the city’s leading youth homelessness charity, housing 105 young people and having an impact across the region through our heritage, mental health and serious youth violence projects. We are also home to The Y Theatre, a vibrant 300-seat arts venue and our homeless adults support service.
Our vision is for every homeless young person to have a safe place to call home and the support they need to create lasting change in their lives. Employing over 100 staff, we work to transform the lives of some of the most vulnerable young people and communities across Leicester and Leicestershire.
