On this #ArmisticeDay, YMCA joins the nation and falls silent for two minutes to commemorate those who died in conflict.
We also pause to remember the 42 YMCA civilian volunteers that sacrificed their lives.

As we draw to a close of #BlackHistoryMonth, we will continue to ensure that our approach to equity goes much further than the activity this month. We will continue to ensure that our staff, services and culture, embrace those who have experienced racism and prejudice.

From Lisa, “I love helping & supporting people from any background and culture. It fills me with pride when I see people like me strive for GREATNESS in all they do because I understand the struggles that they have experienced to get to where they need to be. #BlackHistoryMonth
Following #WorldMentalHealthDay we are encouraging our staff and young people to #BreaktheSilence over mental health by initiating small but meaningful conversations. Our chaplains, Liz and Rotimi are on hand to talk when needed, and their support makes a real difference. #YMCA
Talking about your feelings isn’t a sign of weakness. It’s all part of taking charge of your wellbeing and doing what you can to stay healthy. Let’s #BreaktheSilence. Small talks can make a big difference. Find out more at ymca.org.uk/smalltalks #WorldMentalHealthDay2021
