Today, YMCA has grown to serve more than 65 million people in 120 countries regardless of age, race, gender, sexual orientation or socio-economic background.
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 200 nights of safe, warm and welcoming accommodation to those facing homelessness or in need of support or emergency shelter.
In 2023/24 more than 7,300 individuals benefited from our services and we proudly offered 70,021 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 82% of residents achieving a positive move on—a significant stride in preventing repeat homelessness.
