We are proud to announce our YMCA Essex housing services have been awarded Youth Foyer Accreditation by the Foyer Federation✅

Youth Foyer Accreditation is awarded to youth supported housing services who have proven that they deliver a truly high quality, transformational service with young people who can’t live at home.

We started our Foyer Federation journey in Spring 2025 and received our accreditation in April 2026. It has been a transformational journey for all involved and the wonderful young people we house will truly reap the benefits of our membership to the Federation!

For more information on Youth Foyer Accreditation, visit the Foyer Federation website https://foyer.net/what-we-do/developing-services/

It's Volunteer Week so here are a few quotes from some of our current volunteers across Essex!

We want to take a special moment to say an ENORMOUS thank you to all of our volunteers past and present across YMCA ESSEX. What you do allows charities like us to run and help communities across Essex.

Without volunteers there is no YMCA🙏🏻

Today is National Biscuit Day 🍪 and across our YMC

Today is National Biscuit Day 🍪 and across our YMCA youth clubs, baking is always one of the most popular activities!

At YMCA Essex, we run 8 youth clubs across Essex, creating safe, welcoming spaces where young people can learn new skills, build friendships, and simply have fun. See our website for further details and all locations of active youth clubs!

For many of the children & young people in our Young Carers Club especially, activities like baking are about so much more than biscuits. These sessions offer a chance to relax, be creative, and enjoy experiences that may not always be possible at home due to caring responsibilities.

Sometimes the smallest activities can make the biggest difference, building confidence, encouraging conversation, and giving young people the opportunity to just be children for a while.

Happy National Biscuit Day from all of us at YMCA Essex
