2024/2025 Strategic Intent
Everyone deserves a fair chance to discover who they are and what they can become. YMCA York and East Riding, sitting as part of the wider YMCA Robin Hood Group and YMCA England and Wales federation, our work is guided by this fundamental belief and is shaped in response to the needs of our local communities.
Our strategy – shared with YMCA Robin Hood Group - centres the experiences and opportunities for children, young people and their families. The services we facilitate are in direct reflection of the varied backgrounds and challenges young people within our community face.
We believe in opportunity for all, a belief we share wholeheartedly as federated member and part of the global YMCA movement, now over 180 years in the making.
These beliefs have driven a strategy for our YMCA that is based in the hope and unwavering ambition that all children and young people in our region will one day have a fair chance to life-shaping opportunities.
A. Local Need
The region we serve is a vibrant hub of diverse cultures, experiences, identities, needs and financial backgrounds. No two families are alike, and in some areas, this means significantly disparate access to opportunities, even between children living in neighbouring postcodes.
B. Our North Star
In June 2024, we and the wider group launched our North Star mission across the organisation to unite our diverse services under a shared ambition and language of positive social change for children and young people
Our North Star statement is: We work relentlessly to ensure all children and young people have the developmental relationships and close connections that help them discover who they are, develop the strengths and abilities to shape their own lives, and learn how to engage with and contribute to the world around them.
Our North Star statement weaves together the threads that are fundamental to the work we do at YMCA. No matter where a young person starts from, it promises to meet them where they are to help them build a positive future.

YMCA YORK AND EAST RIDING
THE REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 (continued)
Throughout this year, we have worked hard to embed the North Star direction into all we do, empowering our staff team to deliver services driven by impact and outcomes for those we support beyond all else.
C. Developmental Assets and Relationships
At the core of our North Star sits a research-backed youth development framework that guides how we structure and craft our services for young people. Insights from a decade of research from the Search Institute show that a child’s likelihood of a happy, healthy future significantly increases when they are supported by the community around them to build positive personal competencies and behaviours.
Broadly, these qualities can be categorised into External Assets (those gained from positive experiences and support systems in a child’s environment), and Internal Assets (the internal values and skills that guide a child’s behaviours). Within this, there are eight sub-categories, and 40 individual assets.
External Assets
-
Support
-
Empowerment
-
Boundaries & expectations
-
Constructuve use of time
Internal Assets
-
Commitment to learning
-
Positive values
-
Social competencies
-
Positive identity
Supporting the assets are a set of Developmental Relationships – characteristics of positive relationships that best support children to build their strengths and abilities:
-
Express Care
-
Challenge Growth
-
Provide Support
-
Share Power
-
Expand Possibilities
Despite the disparity of experiences amongst children and young people in our region, development of these assets can help each of them discover and fulfil their potential. Our programmes and services are crafted by design to be grounded in these principles and support all young people holistically and equitably.
Developmental Assets and Relationships are the foundation to which the ‘how’ of our North Star becomes action.
D. Our Approach
With consideration to our community’s diverse experiences, purposeful integration of the North Star mission to all our programming acts as a golden thread between the work at YMCA York and East Riding with that of the wider YMCA Robin Hood Group.

YMCA YORK AND EAST RIDING
THE REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 (continued)
To holistically support our community, our shared strategies split into two core directives.
1. Respond
Dedicated provision for those whose wellbeing is at immediate risk.
This includes support for vulnerable children and young people, who require specialist services to protect their immediate safety, accompanied by longer-term pathways to independence and stability.
This is largely supported through our work with YMCA Robin Hood Group in Supported Housing , as well as services delivered by the wider Group such as Children’s Residential Services . These provide trauma-informed intervention, support and housing for young people and children most at risk.
2. Prevent
Activities with a long-term view of positive social change, through developing young people and communities.
Community and Activity Village
A home to YMCA Robin Hood Group’s Prevent strategy at work, the Village in Newark provides an abundance of opportunity for the whole community. Programming supports Health and Wellbeing, Training and Education, Family and Youth Work, plus Business and Hospitality.
Children, Youth and Families
A blend of services for children and young people from ages 0-17. These services connect models of positive youth development and developmental assets and relationships to create a web of support for young people, equipping them to thrive as they get older.
Hospitality
Centres of community connection, our hospitality services and community spaces facilitate preventative programming from both YMCA and community partners and value-based organisations.
E. Our work
Specifically at YMCA York and East Riding, our vision is to be the provider of choice for young people seeking safe quality supported accommodation as a stepping stone to independence and to be the best they can be.
Therefore, we will target homes for the cohort of 16 to 24 year olds to be able to live an independent life yet be supported to realise their full potential through education, training, employment and support (health and wellbeing). YMCA York and East Riding will work hard to establish good work relationships with the local authorities and partners to address the needs of such young people.
The aim is to target areas of deprivation and expand our services by additional supported bedspaces plus the associated community employment and engagement in these neighbourhoods. Our unique ability to supplement the benefits systems with additional funding through charitable causes enables us to guide individuals through their journey to becoming good contributing members of their communities.
Review of the year
This year, YMCA York and East Riding has worked closely with local authorities and partners to address the needs of young people within our community. Aligned with our North Star mission and strategic Prevent directive, the service has successfully secured several grants, enhancing our capacity to support young people affected by homelessness.
Over several properties, YMCA has capacity to provide 69 temporary supported bedspaces in the area, supporting those in our care with a safe home and dedicated pathways to independence.

YMCA YORK AND EAST RIDING
THE REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 (continued)
Whilst no direct trading was undertaken, all activities were carried out by YMCA Robin Hood Group in collaboration with the Charity.
Supported Housing
Over the past year, our Supported Housing provision has remained focused on providing high standards of care and support for those experiencing homelessness in the communities we serve.
We are proud that our combined services and outcomes with YMCA Robin Hood Group this year, demonstrated a 77.10% positive move-on rate, which is an over 5% improvement compared to last year’s milestone high. “Positive Move-Ons” are one of our most valued measures of success, with each person it represents being a someone impacted by homelessness who now has transitioned to a life of independence.
Figures like this are not just captivating numbers, they are a clear demonstration of the fantastic work of our teams, and the ever-inspiring resilience and determination we see in the young people we support, no matter the challenges they face.
Building Skills, Relationships and Belonging
Committed to our North Star mission, our Supported Housing department worked closely with the young people this year to ensure an abundance of opportunities and experiences were in place to strengthen their support plans, build positive relationships and grow their own skills and abilities.
Residents have been able to experience a huge number of activities, such as creative projects, physical exercise and collaborative DIY projects to personalise and improve their own spaces.
Crucially, our Supported Housing teams have gone above and beyond to ensure our services are welcoming, supportive and embracing of the vibrant mix of cultures that makes up our community. Young people are empowered to feel proud of their identity, and to share their culture enthusiastically, through creating and sharing traditions around key times of the year, such as Christmas and Eid.
Co-Creation
Following on from the development of our Tenant Involvement and Empowerment strategy last year, active participation of young people remains core to our work as practitioners and within policy.
A highlight this year was the transformation of our Goole communal spaces, designed and delivered with residents’ input. With a £1,500 budget, young people chose colours, furniture, flooring, and accessories, ensuring the space reflected their needs and preferences.
Teams of B&Q volunteers worked alongside residents and our maintenance team to bring the vision to life. Over two days, they repainted, refinished, built furniture, installed new worktops, and added art deco wall features and soft furnishings to create a welcoming, modern, and homely environment. Beyond the physical transformation, one resident who supported the project secured a part-time job with B&Q, demonstrating the wider opportunities such partnerships can create.
Quality
Our focus on the impact and quality of our services has also continued to be a major priority throughout 2024-2025. Among other activity, Homelessness Link was commissioned to review our trauma-informed approaches, identifying strengths and areas for development to inform future action planning. Alongside this, all staff received training on strength-based language, ensuring our support empowers young people to reflect on challenges, learn from experiences, and find positive new ways of managing situations.

YMCA YORK AND EAST RIDING
THE REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 (continued)
The quality of our work has also been recognised externally. In October 2024, the YMCA Goole team was nominated for North Yorkshire Council’s Care Leaver Champion Awards and were proud to win at the celebration event held at York University. Three young residents attended the day, taking part in activities and joining the celebrations. The award now takes pride of place in our Goole office, a testament to the amazing support provided to the young people in their homes.

Awards for All
We were awarded a further Awards for All grant of £10K for a life-skills programme, supporting our residents to develop core skills from communication through to team work through a series of outdoor education challenges. They were also given a unique opportunity to embark on a Tall Ships experience, putting their newfound skills into good use whilst navigating the waters around the British coast with their peers from other YMCAs. This project was delayed due to the Covid pandemic and is anticipated to be fully utilised in the subsequent financial year.
The National Lottery Community Fund
We were awarded a grant from The National Lottery Community Fund which helps the company meet the cost of the counsellor, with detailed knowledge and experience of childhood trauma, who provides interventions for young people aged between 16 - 25 years old living at the hostel. The funding also enables the charity to employ an engagement worker for 1 day a week who works with the young people at the hostel to improve their motivation, health and key skills.

By moving to a Trauma Informed Approach (TIA) our impact with residents will improve and ultimately, help them find their way to full independence more effectively. We plan to introduce a part time Counselling role to the service for 2-years (or 1-year) that will form part of our future core offering.
