Why This Celebration Matters

Our celebration has a purpose — every ticket sold supports the YMCA Scholarship Fund, giving local children and young people access to life-changing opportunities they otherwise couldn’t afford.

This fund helps remove financial barriers for families, enabling young people to take part in a wide range of programmes at YMCA Village – from sports and creative arts to personal development and holiday camps. Whether it’s joining Y-Kids or Youth sessions during school term time accessing ChangeMakers youth sessions, or enjoying the Camp Williams, during the school holidays- your support means that more children have a fair chance to discover who they are and what they can become.

By attending this event, you’re not just celebrating the first three years of YMCA Village — you’re investing in the future of local young people.
