Celebrate Christmas with YMCA

Join us for an unforgettable evening at the YMCA Christmas Ball, hosted by Ian Morgan OBE, High Sheriff of Derbyshire.

The funds raised on the evening will go towards our changing lives fund, which enables us to provide vital youth and community services to young people and individuals most in need. Including wellbeing support, diversionary and horticulture activities along with a whole host of training and work-based programmes.

As we enter our forever home as Padley@YMCA Derbyshire, we will be expanding our traditional services for individuals. We will be providing warm meals, activities to combat loneliness and isolation, a community pantry, community kitchens to enable families to cook nutritious meals, and access to a laundrette. We will also be providing opportunities to learn through training, education and volunteering opportunities. All with the aim of supporting individuals to move along their positive pathways and on to independent living, training and employment.
