This merger has made us one of the largest charities in the county and gives us a firmer foundation from which to deliver more and better services to those who need it most, also allowing us to represent their views more effectively to local decision-makers. In short, we have become stronger as one YMCA.The merger has brought its challenges, but overall has been a very smooth transaction and thanks must go to the dedicated Central Services team members who have burnt the midnight oil, as well as our committed and passionate staff members who have taken the changes in their stride and kept focused on delivering high-quality activities to our service users. Our people are our greatest asset and they regularly go the extra mile to make an enduring difference in the lives of local people - differences which so often prove life-changing.
