Thankyou Logan.

As our Climbing Manager Logan prepares to return to New Zealand with his family, we want to take a moment to say a truly heartfelt thank you for everything he has given to YMCA Taunton.

Logan’s impact on our climbing provision has been nothing short of extraordinary. Through his vision, dedication and hard work, he has helped transform an empty space into the thriving, vibrant climbing community we are so proud of today. His passion for excellence, attention to detail and commitment to doing things the right way have shaped not just the facility itself, but the culture and standards we will continue to build on for years to come.

Beyond his professional achievements, Logan has been an incredible colleague, mentor and friend to so many. His willingness to share his knowledge, support others and go above and beyond has left a lasting impression on everyone he has worked with.

While we are sad to see him go, we feel incredibly fortunate to have had Logan as part of our journey. His legacy will live on in everything we do, and he will always be a valued part of the YMCA Taunton story.

Thank you, Logan - we wish you and your family every happiness and success as you begin this exciting new chapter back in New Zealand 🇳🇿

Please join us in wishing Logan all the very best and sharing your own messages, memories or thanks in the comments below.

We missed WednesdayWithoutUs yesterday.

Not because we forgot, but because, like many charities, we were busy dealing with the unexpected.

That's why we're joining , a campaign highlighting the vital role charities and community organisations play every day and the impact our communities would feel without them.

While social media often shows the fun activities, the climbing sessions and community events, there's a huge amount of work happening behind the scenes to support people, solve problems and keep services running safely.

Today we'd like to recognise our incredible staff team, whose dedication, flexibility and care help make YMCA Taunton what it is.

Much of what they do goes unseen, but it matters, because communities need more than services. They need people who care enough to keep showing up, even on the difficult days.

In The Mix Project - what unseen work helps keep your organisation running?

Thankyou Spark Somerset for running this campaign and for all the amazing support you give non-profits.

A huge thank you to Queen's College, Taunton for their generous donation of £161.61, raised during their recent House Service Day.

We're incredibly grateful to all the students and staff who took part and chose to support YMCA Taunton.

Their donation will help us purchase children's climbing shoes for our climbing wall, making it easier for more young people to take part, try something new and enjoy the benefits of climbing.

Thank you for helping us create more opportunities for local children and young people.

We are delighted to announce that Connor Franks will be joining YMCA Taunton as our new Climbing Instructor.

Connor brings with him a wealth of experience in climbing, mountaineering, outdoor leadership and youth development. A passionate advocate for the outdoors, Connor has spent years developing his skills and experience through mountain leadership, climbing, expeditioning and working with young people through Scouting.

As a qualified Rock Climbing Instructor (RCI) and Mountain Leader, Connor combines strong technical expertise with a genuine passion for helping others develop confidence, skills and a lifelong enjoyment of the outdoors. He also holds both Outdoor First Aid and First Aid at Work qualifications, further demonstrating his commitment to safe and high-quality activity delivery.

Alongside his formal qualifications, Connor has extensive experience working with young people through the Scout movement, where he has held leadership roles across a range of age groups. His commitment to creating positive, inclusive and rewarding outdoor experiences aligns perfectly with the values of YMCA Taunton.

Connor will officially start with us next week.

We are incredibly pleased to welcome Connor to the team and look forward to the enthusiasm, expertise and energy he will bring as we continue to grow and develop our climbing provision.

🌍 Refugee Week 2026 🌍

Last week we were delighted to welcome young people from CHARISrefugees to YMCA Taunton for an afternoon of climbing, pickleball, pool and table football.

The group threw themselves into every activity, encouraging one another, trying new things and having plenty of fun along the way.

At YMCA Taunton, we believe everyone deserves opportunities to connect, build confidence and feel part of their community. It was a pleasure to open our doors and share our space with these inspiring young people.

A huge thank you to Charis Refugees for visiting us. We look forward to welcoming you back again soon.

This visit was made possible thanks to funding from Taunton Town Council, supporting positive activities for young people in our community.
