At all YMCA nurseries, we put children at the heart of everything we do. Through play, creativity, and strong relationships, we help little ones build confidence, independence, and a love of learning in a safe, caring environment. It’s more than childcare - it’s a place to grow 💜Here are some pictures of what we've been up to recently over at our Woolston nursery👧#Nursery #PreschoolActivities #YMCANursery #Learnthroughplay ...

We would like to say a huge thank you to Centrepoint and Nationwide Building Society who recently awarded #YMCAFairthorneGroup with a £15,600 grant as part of their More than a Roof programme. The funding will enable 78 young adults in supported housing in Southampton and the Isle of Wight to personalise their rooms, making them comfortable, safe spaces where they can be themselves and feel at home 🏠 Many of the young adults at YMCA Fairthorne Group support arrive with little more than a bag of clothes. This funding will provide them with everything from pillows and cushions to beanbags, laundry baskets, wall hangings, mood lighting - those little things that make a space feel like your own 🫶 In the words of one young person, "Oh my god, all for me, sic!".#YMCA #Morethanaroof #YouthSupport #YouthHousing #CharitySupport #CentrePoint #Thankyou ...
