YMCA gives young people a fair chance to discover who they are and what they can become.
A Christmas present often offers, much-needed, temporary support such as consumables or experiences. However, for many that we support, the reality is that they need support all year round.
At the heart of our appeal this year is to provide lasting and life-changing pledges of support to young people in our communities. Such as support for housing, mental health, skills development, and support in providing life-changing opportunities.
Become part of our movement and make a pledge today and help us make a better tomorrow.
Christmas Promise Trees
Each pledge made this Christmas will be added to one of our Promise Trees. A visual representation of our communities coming together for a better tomorrow.
Your pledge does not need to be financial; your voice and time also make a huge difference.
Example pledges include:
Pledge to learn more about the YMCA and our communities
Become an advocate for the YMCA, sign up for emails, or follow us on social media this year.
.
Pledge a life changing Scholarship
Pledge to support us in providing life-changing scholarships to young people, creating opportunities to access to a holiday camp, childcare, or nursery for those who could never have had that chance to.
Pledge to support the YMCA
Pledge to become a YMCA Supporter member for £15 a year, joining a community of people in our community advocating to giving everyone a fair chance to discover who they are and what they can become.
Your supporter membership not only supports local young people but also gives you discounted pricing at our Community and Activity Village in Newark on Trent.

Pledge your time to volunteer with the YMCA, making a personal commitment to support one of our projects.
