We believe that everybody should have the opportunity to lead healthy, happy lives
YMCA Fairthorne Group is a locally-based community charity delivering services such as childcare, housing, community activities and outdoor learning to over 40,000 children, young people and families across Hampshire and the Isle of Wight each year.
While we are proud to be associated with the wider YMCA movement, each YMCA does in fact operate independently, as individually-registered charities across the UK and overseas.
Our services
We operate a social-enterprise model, whereby surplus from our childcare, nursery, Daycamps and group visit services, along with grants and your generous donations, help us to deliver other specialist services, including:
- providing a bursary scheme that helps support children and families in the local area to access activities and services they wouldn’t normally be able to.
- support for young carers.
- helping young people with disabilities build confidence by accessing our exciting activities.
- supported housing for vulnerable 16 – 25 year-olds.
- counselling services for young people affected by bereavement.
