Lisburn YMCA

Lisburn YMCA is a local cross-community, voluntary agency, which has been an active charity for more than 17 years. A youth and community group with a strong Christian ethos, Lisburn YMCA seeks to offer a wide range of focused work programmes that target specific groups. Over the years, Lisburn YMCA has provided a mix of recreational and structured programme work mainly to young people between 13 and 25 years, but always to those who are least motivated, most likely to offend and those who cause most difficulty to other statutory agencies. Lisburn YMCA's typical client may be a young person who has experienced family, social or learning difficulities in adolescence, who may be facing unemployment and could become at risk of being involved in anti-social or criminal behaviour or care court proceedings. Lisburn YMCA welcomes all young people and offers a place where they can relax without fear or threat and where they can find trust and unconditional acceptance.
