COVID 19/ CORONAVIRUS NOTICE .
Dear Friends,
After careful consideration and following Government advice on “social distancing”, it is with regret that I have to inform you that YMCA Neath will shut temporarily from tomorrow evening (9:00pm, Thursday, 19th March 2020).
All classes and activities will be suspended from that time onwards until further notice.
We are finding ourselves in unprecedented times, and YMCA Neath takes everyone’s health and wellbeing very seriously.
Your support has spanned several years and has made a huge impact on all of us. It has enabled the YMCA to provide support to people of all ages and abilities via an extensive programme of community based activities, including sport, education and training in a safe environment.
The following figures (33,088) show our activity and participation levels last year:
We saw over 9,783 registered visitors.
Over 2,266 young people accessed our gymnastics sessions.
Over 2,548 young people accessed 5 different disciplines of martial arts classes that are purely run by volunteers.
Over 11,593 young people accessed various other clubs (1,534 boys and 10,059
girls).
Over 6,898 visits to our gym.
Over 145 years, raising enough funds has always been challenging for YMCA Neath.
Your support has been fundamental to us. It has helped YMCA Neath deliver better services.
We have set up a fundraising page in place of the Good Friday Breakfast, and hope that you may be able to join us virtually in toasting to last year’s achievements, and all the good work that it takes to keeping the YMCA at the heart of Neath.
