Welcome to the Christchurch YMCA

If I were to ask 10 people on the street what they think the YMCA does I would no doubt get ten very different answers. 

The Christchurch YMCA is many things.  We offer a wide range of programmes and services - some of which are unique in our communities for a very specific target audience, and many of which are for a broad range of people  of all ages, cultures and walks of life. 

We literally do offer something for everyone.

If you ask our staff what we do, they will say: 

"We build strong people, strong families, strong communities."

We work with our four core values at the centre of decisions, practice and governance:

Honesty, Respect, Responsibility and Caring.

Come on in and see for yourself what the YMCA can offer you and your family.

From 1st September 2010 the YMCA is 100% smokefree at Bishopdale Recreation Centre and Wainui Park.  Hereford Street and the Education Centre at Lichfield Street will be 100% Smokefree in October 2010.  For more information on this policy please click here
