Sports and Activities | YMCA Newark and Sherwood

We’re looking forward to welcoming visitors back in the evenings from 29 March when government lockdown restrictions are eased. We’ll be assessing the situation throughout April and May and extending our opening times accordingly.

Sport does more than nurture physical health – it builds community, teaches confidence and plays a huge part in mental wellness.

Our charity works to make sport inclusive and easy to access, with opportunities for a variety of abilities and interests.
