YMCA is dedicated to the highest standards of safeguarding, overseen by our Director of Safeguarding and Advocacy. The venue can only be accessed by signing in and out, and parental consent is required before a young person can do that for themselves. Our staff are qualified, following robust, audited processes, meaning your children are safe while pursuing something meaningful after school and at weekends. Our team are always there to guide and mentor, so your children will be supported at all times.

If you have any questions, please email memberships@ymcans.org and we’ll be happy to help.

Parents need to sign young people in/out each day, but if you’d prefer to come and go on your own there’s a form for parents to sign saying that’s okay.

It’s really important we know who is in the Village at any time so we can keep everyone safe and accounted for. Please sign in and out with the session coordinator every day.

• Keep an eye on the weather and make sure you bring the right kind of clothing.
• A water bottle and snack are also recommended.
• YMCA can’t take responsibility for any lost/damaged personal property brought to the Village

You can choose how to spend your time at the Village. We encourage trying new things for all the satisfaction they can bring you, but we don’t tell you what to do. You’re more than welcome to relax and socialise in the games room as much as you’d like.

The promotion is open to existing Youth Members and young people joining on a new Youth Membership during September.

Your friend must sign up for a Youth Membership during September for the offer to apply.

Yes. Both the existing member and the new member must hold an active Youth Membership at the time the hoodie order is placed.

Once the new membership has been completed, visit Reception and let the team know you’re claiming the Bring a Friend hoodie offer. Reception will confirm eligibility, record hoodie sizes and arrange the order.

No. Free hoodies included as part of the promotion must be ordered through Reception so our team can verify eligibility and record the correct details.

When ordering your hoodie at Reception, you’ll be asked to select your preferred size. The hoodie has a fashionable oversized fit and is available in:

• Small (S) – Approx. 36″ chest
• Medium (M) – Approx. 40″ chest
• Large (L) – Approx. 44″ chest
• Extra Large (XL) – Approx. 48″ chest

The hoodie is intentionally designed with a relaxed, oversized fit, so many young people will find their usual size provides the desired look.

Our Reception team will be happy to help you select the most suitable size when placing your order. As the hoodie is designed to be oversized, you may wish to choose your normal clothing size unless you prefer a more fitted or extra-relaxed look.

Once your order has been submitted to production, we will NOT be able to make changes. Please check your size carefully before confirming your order with Reception.

As hoodies are ordered specifically for members, we cannot guarantee exchanges once an order has been placed. Please speak to Reception if you have any concerns before confirming your size.

No, there is only one hoodie colour and design.

Each eligible member can receive one free hoodie through the promotion. The referring member receives one hoodie and the new joining member receives one hoodie.

Additional hoodies are available to purchase for £35 each.

To qualify for the offer, both members must hold a valid active Youth Membership. YMCA Newark & Sherwood reserves the right to withdraw the offer if eligibility requirements are not met.

The promotion provides one free hoodie per eligible member. If you refer multiple friends each friend will receive a free hoodie.

Hoodies are subject to availability. While we will make every effort to fulfil all eligible orders, YMCA Newark & Sherwood reserves the right to offer an alternative if stock becomes unavailable.

Yes. Existing Youth Members can receive a free hoodie by referring a friend who joins on a Youth Membership during September.

Yes. If you’re a new Youth Member joining during September and you refer another friend who also joins, please speak to Reception to confirm eligibility.

Yes. Additional hoodies are available to purchase for £35 each.

No. The £35 hoodie is a completely separate purchase option and is not connected to the Bring a Friend offer. Eligible members will still receive their free promotional hoodie through the campaign.

Complete the online hoodie order form, select your preferred size and make payment online. Once your order has been received and processed, we’ll contact you with collection details.

Purchased hoodies are available in the same sizes as the promotional hoodies:

• Small (36″ chest)
• Medium (40″ chest)
• Large (44″ chest)
• Extra Large (48″ chest)

No. The £35 hoodie purchase option is separate from the Bring a Friend promotion and is available to anyone who would like to own an exclusive YMCA Youth hoodie. Simply complete the online order form, select your size and make payment online. Once your order has been processed, we’ll contact you with collection details.

Purchased hoodies will be ordered and supplied alongside our regular production runs. Collection details will be issued when your order is ready.
