As a registered charity

We aim to keep our rates fair, for this reason we have not increased them since August 2022. We also do not offer a charity discount enabling us to support our residents to the very best of our abilities.

As a bonus, know that by choosing us, you are spending positively as any income we make goes straight back to supporting our 40 young people and enabling us to help them establish the essential building blocks of a full and rewarding life. At YMCA, we provide these critical foundations for a fresh, strong start for young people and the development of new opportunities for communities and young people in Reading.
