The mission of the YMCA is to put Christian principles into practice through programs that build a healthy spirit, mind, and body for all. The YMCA aims to strengthen communities by focusing on youth development, healthy living, and social responsibility. It seeks to provide support and opportunities for individuals to grow and thrive, regardless of their background or circumstances. The YMCA movement is dedicated to fostering a sense of belonging, achievement, and relationship among its members and the broader community.
Objectives: 4.1 To organise the provision of recreational facilities in order to provide a safe environment and to promote the acceptance of all people regardless of disability, ethnicity, religion or faith, culture, gender, sexual orientation or social class. This will be done within the Christian ethos of the YMCA movement. Information and materials in relation to Christianity will be available for those who wish further knowledge. 4.2 To advance educational opportunities by organising programmes through activities and discussion, either within the premises or externally. Included in these would be the opportunity to promote development of citizenship and health, in such a way, that the young people make better choices for themselves. to promote a healthy lifestyle by organising awareness sessions on subjects such as alcohol and drug abuse and providing an environment where these can be discussed in an open and honest manner. 4.3 To promote citizenship and develop community spirit by encouraging young people to consider their environment and engage in intergenerational activities to bridge the gap between young and old. 4.4 To support and advance young people to reach their potential by overcoming barriers that would normally exclude them, e.g. age, ill health, disability, financial hardship, racial discrimination and social class. 4.5 Affiliation: The Association, as of 1 April 2015, is a member of Scottish National Council YMCA, (Charity Number SC013792) (“The National Council'), and shall be bound by the provisions of the Constitution of that Council, including in particular Conditions of Membership of The National Council, as comprised in Appendix D thereto, and for reference set out in Appendix A hereto.
