Welcome to YMCA London South West
Welcome to the Web Site of YMCA London South West
(
formerly Kingston & Wimbledon YMCA)
. We are a large and diverse community based organisation,
working in South West London and Surrey, with a particular focus
on young people.
Based at four main centres and operating from
fourteen separate locations, we provide a range of services to
our local communities, including supported housing; children's
work; sports, health, exercise and fitness; youth work; residential
care homes; catering services and conference facilities; short
stay hostel accommodation and community programmes.
We have been serving the community for almost 135 years
and have constantly evolved. In 2004 Kingston YMCA merged with Wimbledon & District YMCA to form
Kingston & Wimbledon YMCA. By 2009, with several projects based in other Boroughs, our name no longer fitted,
so we became YMCA London South West - the largest local YMCA in Europe!
We are an independent charitable organisation that is part of the world wide YMCA Movement, governed
by a volunteer board of management with the following vision:-
I am come that they may have life and that they might have it more abundantly. (John 1010)
A Christian charity where people can come as they are;
be met at their point of need and come to know life in all its fullness.
We hope that you will discover more about the work of
YMCA London South West through these pages and decide to
get involved!
