Faith and the YMCA

The YMCA works hard to be totally inclusive within the context of a confident Christian identity.

Welcoming people of all faiths and of none is, and must remain a top priority for the YMCA. The YMCA facilitates windows on the christian faith in keeping with the historic tradition of the movement.

Faith in the 21st Century

Faith plays a tremendous role in the work of many charitable organisations in the UK and internationally. The YMCA approaches faith in a way that impacts everyday life throught the delivery of different services for the whole person - body, mind and spirit.

There is a tremendous challenge to organisations with a faith based motivation to be totally inclusive, to welcome people regardless of their race, gender, ability or faith.
