YMCA Suffolk Information

Our Vision is of an inclusive Christian Movement transforming communities so that all young people can belong, contribute and thrive. Our Mission is supporting young lives to realise their full potential. Our work is a practical expression of our Christian faith and the heritage of the YMCA. We are part of the international YMCA family, motivated by a common Christian faith, working with people of all faiths & none. Our vision, mission & values flow from our desire to reflect our Christian foundations & our willingness to uphold the Christian message of faith, hope & love. We seek out: We actively look for opportunities to make a transformative impact on young lives in the communities where we work, and believe that every person is of equal value. We welcome: We offer people the space they need to feel secure, respected, heard and valued; and we always protect, trust, hope and persevere. We inspire: We strive to inspire each person we meet to nurture their body, mind and spirit, and to realise their full potential in all they do. We speak out: We stand up for young people, speak out on issues that affect their lives, and help them to find confidence in their own voice. We serve others: We are committed to the wellbeing of the communities we serve, and believe in the positive benefit of participation, locally and in the wider world.
