Thousands of young people, children and isolated communities access YMCA Newcastle’s services each year. We couldn’t provide the support we do without our dedicated staff, volunteers and trustees. Our diverse team come from a range of youth and community work backgrounds ensuring we have a varied approach to the support we provide. Our trustees provide the charity with expertise leadership to ensure our sustainable future and last year our volunteers contributed over 13,000 hours to YMCA Newcastle.
