Community and Activity Village | YMCA Newark and Sherwood

The YMCA Village is a transformational not-for-profit project designed to bring together young people and families in Newark and Sherwood.

The project is driven by a passionate belief that everyone deserves the chance to belong, contribute and thrive.

The Village will bring a wide range of sport and social activities to Newark and help make positive change through a community space that offers opportunities for everyone.

What’s planned?

Facilities and programmes at The Village focus on three key areas – healthy living, youth development and social responsibility.

Construction is well underway of the main building and this phase of the Village is due for completion in Spring 2022.
