🎉 Happy Birthday to the YMCA! 🎉

Today we celebrate the founding of the YMCA on 6 June 1844 in London, England, 182 years ago today.

What started as a small movement created by George Williams to support young people moving into the city during the Industrial Revolution has grown into one of the world’s largest youth and community organisations, now operating in more than 100 countries.

From youth development and outdoor education, to health, recreation, childcare and community support, the YMCA has spent nearly two centuries empowering young people and strengthening communities.

Here in Hawke’s Bay, we are proud to continue that legacy through programmes that support tamariki, rangatahi and whānau across our region every day.

Thank you to all of our staff, volunteers, partners, supporters and families who continue to be part of the Y story. 💙
