About us
Who we are
YMCA DownsLink Group is the leading charity for children and young people across Sussex and Surrey. We offer safe homes, mental health support and trusted advice.
We believe that every child and young person has the right to be safe, heard and to shape their own future. We work alongside them to make that happen.
We are here for children and young people, many of whom face multiple challenges and need our support.
We are a member of the YMCA Federation of England & Wales and are guided by their vision of ‘transforming communities, so all young people can belong, contribute & thrive’. This vision reflects the original Christian foundation of the YMCA movement, but with a clear emphasis on being an inclusive organisation.
Our culture and values
Our values - we do what’s right, we work with heart, and we build real connection – guide us in all our actions.
Equality, diversity and inclusion policy
We are striving to build an inclusive workplace where all staff and volunteers feel valued and respected. We are committed to policies and practices of equity, diversity, and inclusion across everything we do. We support all our people to make sure their behaviour is consistent with this commitment.
As such, we encourage applications from people from all sections of the communities that we serve. We particularly welcome applications from People of Colour and minoritised white communities, people who are LGBTQ+, and people with disabilities and neurodiversities because these groups are currently under-represented in our workforce.
