YMCA Robin Hood Group.
In 1871, a group of friends opened a YMCA for people in Nottinghamshire, and we’ve been here ever since.
YMCA has helped young people across Nottinghamshire for over 150 years, providing a safe, non-judgemental space.
We pride ourselves on supporting communities across Nottinghamshire and Yorkshire. Based on Christian core values of caring, honesty, respect and responsibility.
Everyone should have a fair chance to discover who they are and what they can become.
YMCA believes in fairness and opportunity.
There are essential building blocks for a full and rewarding life: a safe home; acceptance; guidance; friendship; physical and mental health; academic support; employment skills; and access to real opportunities.
Many young people have never known these things; other people have lost one or more as they grew up, but we all need them. All of us.
At YMCA, we provide these critical foundations for a fresh, strong start for young people and a better quality of life in the community.
As well as Newark & Sherwood we operate in two other locations:
YMCA Greater Nottingham
YMCA York and East Riding
Whilst each YMCA branch is autonomous, we are proud to be part of a charity movement which supports young people both on a national and international level. You can learn about our relationship with the wider (inter)national YMCA.
You can find out more about the wide range of work we do across the community in our Annual Report.

We’re always happy to work with journalists on news stories relating to youth development, healthy living and social responsibility.
