📚 Staff Training & Development Week 📚

Last week, our team took some time away from the usual routine for a Staff Training & Development Week — a great opportunity to learn, grow and invest in our team! 💙

Throughout the week, we refreshed and updated our training, including First Aid, as well as spending time exploring trauma-informed practices. It was brilliant to team up with the YMCA Portadown team for this and share learning and ideas together.

We also had the opportunity to explore chaplaincy within the YMCA, taking time to reflect on how we can continue to support young people and staff in a holistic way. 🙏

Of course, it wasn’t all work! We enjoyed some good food, plenty of laughs and some team-building fun at the Challenge Room in Lisburn. 🧩😂

A great week of learning, connecting and having fun together! 💙

🌙 Senior Stay Awake! 🌙

Over the summer, our Senior group took on a Stay Awake fundraiser in support of the YMCA!

Throughout the night, we had plenty of activities planned to keep everyone busy — and, more importantly, awake! From Throw Throw Burrito to Monopoly and Mario Kart there was no shortage of fun and laughs! Safe to say, there wasn’t much sleep happening! 😴😂

Our young people did an amazing job fundraising and raised an incredible £300! 🎉

A huge thank you to everyone who donated and supported the fundraiser. Your generosity is helping us continue to make a difference in the lives of young people. 💙

🌊 E2T Wee Day Out! 🌊

We headed to Portrush for a wee day out with 100+ young people from across E2T! 🙌 It was brilliant to see everyone getting together, catching up with old friends and making plenty of new ones along the way! 💙

Throughout the day, we took on a photo challenge and let’s just say we took it very seriously! 📸😂

There was also plenty of time for a chippie, a wander around Portrush and of course, some time in Currys! 🍟🌊🛍️

A brilliant day filled with plenty of laughs, memories and good company! 💙

Over the summer, we had the pleasure of celebrating Josh and Lea as they move on to new and exciting adventures! 🎉

Josh and Lea have been such a huge part of the YMCA Lurgan family, making a lasting impact on both staff and young people. They’ll be greatly missed, but we’re so excited to see what the future holds for them both! 💙

We’re sure this won’t be the last we see of them! Once part of the YMCA family, always part of the YMCA family!

Wishing you both every success and happiness in your next adventures. You’ll always have a place here at YMCA Lurgan! 🌟
