YMCA Tayside has officially launched a programme specifically developed to offer help and support to young women and girls at risk of developing mental health issues, and is now recruiting mentors locally.

On the weekend of 23-25 April, don your finest tartan garments and take on a sponsored – socially distanced – challenge. It could be a walk, run, or even sponsored trampoline jump, raising money for YMCA Scotland’s work with young people and children! 

YMCA Tayside has launched Y-Xplore, a new programme designed to reach and inspire vulnerable young people in its community through outdoor education, life coaching and personal development.

YMCA Scotland, in partnership with YMCA England & Wales and YMCA Ireland, has been chosen as one of 12 recipients of the Tampon Tax Fund. The Fund allocates money generated from the VAT on sanitary products to projects that improve the lives of disadvantaged women and girls and is managed by the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport.

Thousands of youth work settings across the country are closed in the wake of the Coronavirus pandemic, and YMCA is responding with innovative solutions.

My passion is to promote the education of all girls across the world. To teach them about technology and the digital world, to prepare them for the jobs of our present and future.
