YMCA Thames Gateway is a charity and has been serving the local community for over 130 years. Whilst our focus is on young people, we work with all members of the community, in the belief that everyone should be able to reach their full potential, regardless of their background. We call this a youth minded community approach. We work across a number of boroughs including Havering, Barking and Dagenham, Dartford, Greenwich and Ashford. We work from the following locations; Romford, Dartford, Greenwich and Ashford.
We provide a wide range of services in the local community; these include supported accommodation, children’s, youth and family work and health & wellbeing facilities.
We are part of the global YMCA movement. YMCA is the largest and the oldest charity working with young people in the world. As an inclusive Christian movement that transforms communities we are proud of our Christian heritage and ethos.
