Sports and Activities | YMCA Newark and Sherwood

For 175 years, sport and activity has always been part of the support YMCAs give.

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.
