Today, YMCA Cheltenham serves the diverse and expanding community through a range of essential services, including housing, wellness, sports, and family support. Every night we provide over 270 nights of safe, warm and welcoming accommodation to those facing homelessness or in need of support or emergency shelter.
In 2024/25 more than 7,100 individuals benefited from our services and we proudly offered 98,644 nights of secure and stable accommodation to those at risk of homelessness throughout Cheltenham and Gloucester.
Our PATHWAY HOME initiative, launched in 2022, has revolutionised our approach to homelessness, with an impressive 84% of residents achieving a positive move on – a significant stride in preventing repeat homelessness.
