Help us save the world’s first YMCA, a vital community hub that serves people of all ages—from young children taking their first swim lessons to elderly residents finding solace from loneliness.

For 50 years, this cherished space has been a cradle-to-grave sanctuary of wellness, creativity, and connection in the heart of London. It’s where friendships flourish, skills are nurtured, and lives are transformed through activities like dance, pottery, judo, and language classes.

Losing it would devastate thousands and erase a unique legacy of togetherness. Please donate to help us preserve this irreplaceable beacon of hope for generations to come.

We urgently need your support to fund professional expertise to fight the closure and ensure the YMCA can reignite and thrive once this threat is resolved.

Every pound raised will be responsibly and transparently managed, with proper governance and accounting in place. You can be assured that these funds will be used effectively to preserve a community asset that we are all deeply invested in sustaining.
