YMCA Dulverton Group is a vibrant, local charity that has been responding to the needs of individuals and communities since 1884. We help people to believe in themselves, support them to achieve their goals and inspire them to be the best they can be.
Our Mission is to create supportive, inclusive and energising communities where young people can truly belong, contribute and thrive.
We work across four key areas, with a fifth – support and advice – running through them all.
Health & Wellbeing
“We believe that everyone should be able to enjoy the benefits of physical exercise, from improved health to better education and life chances.”
Training & Education
“We believe that every young person should be able to fulfil their full potential.”
Family Working
“We believe every family should have the support they need to develop and lead more fulfilling lives.”
Accommodation
“We believe that every young person should have a safe place to stay.”
Support and Advice
“We believe that every young person should have someone they can trust.”
