YMCA Tayside

YMCA Tayside Somewhere to go... Something to do... Someone to talk to YMCA Tayside is committed to providing opportunities to young people across the local area.

Change for most of us happens because of the people we know, friends, family, school friends and work mates - they all effect who we are. Relationships matter to us. Building relationships is what we do at YMCA Tayside

All of the volunteers and staff at YMCA Tayside put their time and energy in to making good relationships happen for young people and with young people. Last time you were excited,

confused or unhappy you wanted the same thing - someone to talk to. Our youth workers are there to talk to. Most of the time we need somewhere to go, a place where we can meet and get to know each other. YMCA staff and volunteers work in different places, our offices in the centre of Perth, our High Street premises, outdoors, and in local churches and schools. Our Projects:

- Universal Youth Work
- Y-Xplore outdoor sessions
- YMedia digital suite
- Youth Work Training
- Detached Youthwork around Perth
- Schools work
- Prince's Trust Team
- Employability Skills
- Youth Voice
- Plus One Mentoring
- Church Partnerships
- and more!

Join us for Bears Big Adventure Trail, an exciting, interactive sculpture trail taking over Perth and Kinross for 10 weeks in summer 2026!
From Perth city centre to Kinross, Auchterarder, Crieff, Aberfeldy, Pitlochry and Blairgowrie, beautifully designed bear sculptures will pop up in streets, parks and iconic locations, creating a colourful, family-friendly adventure across the region.
In Perth, you’ll spot bears around the Concert Hall, Museum, St John’s Centre and along the High Street, transforming the city into a playful open-air gallery.
Download the trail app, explore at your own pace, vote for your favourite bears and share your discoveries on social media - or simply enjoy the experience for free.
Alongside the trail, enjoy creative workshops, “paint your own bear” sessions, and a spectacular farewell weekend at Scone Palace in September.
Best of all, the trail supports YMCA Tayside, helping to fund vital youth programmes that empower and uplift young people across the region.

Reminder to check in on the people around you 💛
It’s Mental Health Awareness Week — a reminder to be a little kinder to ourselves and to each other.
Mental health can affect anyone, and we never really know what someone else might be carrying behind the scenes. A simple check-in, conversation, or small act of support can make a bigger difference than you realise.
Take care of yourselves this week, and don’t be afraid to reach out if you need someone to talk to. We’re all stronger when we support each other 🤝
