About Us: Thames Gateway YMCA

Vision

The YMCA's vision is of an inclusive Christian Movement, transforming communities so that all young people truly belong, contribute and thrive.

By December 2010 we aim to offer our projects and services in at least four other communities in the Thames Gateway building on our successful Dartford model.

Mission

At the heart of all YMCA's work is a commitment to supporting the personal development of children and young people.

The YMCA focuses on encouraging children and young people to fulfil their potential and participate actively in their communities.
