Scarborough

YMCA Leisure Centre

The YMCA has been supporting young people in Scarborough for many decades.

All YMCAs are locally managed to respond to the needs of the community. In Scarborough we have developed a strong reputation for giving young people a range of opportunities to build their self-confidence, make new friends and improve their ability to work with others, and to give something back to the wider community. We do this by engaging people of all ages in a variety of activities including dance, singing, sport, arts and volunteering, as well as on- and off-stage opportunities in our 290-seat community theatre.

As well as being home to a number of Dance and Performance Schools, we offer meeting rooms, dance studios and a gymnasium for hire. Weightwatchers base one of their weekly sessions at the YMCA. We also offer Ju Jitsu, Fencing, Zumba, Kung Fu and Musical Theatre classes.

We have a very well-equipped 290-seat theatre which plays host to numerous productions each year. Our theatre is also ideal for companies or groups wishing to deliver a seminar, training session or presentation to a large group in comfort.

We are always keen to show people around and find that most are surprised by what we have to offer.

£2,250 donated to the YMCA from this year's Scalby Walk

We are so grateful to the organisers of this year's Scalby Walk, and to all those who supported the Walk, for the amazing donation of £2,250.

The money will go towards supporting the work that we do here at the YMCA and is so appreciated, as we rely on the generosity of local people and organisations to enable us to keep going.

A Big Thank You to the team from Willmott-Dixon

The Scarborough YMCA was very fortunate recently to receive the support of a team from Willmott Dixon in refurbishing some of our facilities.

In a matter of four days they took an area that was desperately in need of some attention and worked their magic on it, transforming it into a clean and bright place.

It is not often that we are lucky enough to receive this kind of co-ordinated help from a company, but in a building the size of ours where we are constantly trying to improve our facilities for local people, it is so very much in need and hugely appreciated.

This is not the first time we have benefitted from Wilmott Dixon’s support and on behalf of everyone associated with the YMCA - thank you so much.

The Wonderful World of Disney - a triumph!

A huge well done to everyone involved in our production of "The Wonderful World of Disney". You all worked so hard and put on a terrific show. Thank you also to our fabulous audiences - your enthusiasm was infectious and we are so grateful for your support.
