**What the charity does:** Kilmarnock YMCA is a long-established and respected community organisation with deep roots across East Ayrshire. Our purpose is simple yet vital: to care for people and strengthen the fabric of our communities. We provide safe, welcoming spaces where individuals feel they belong, can build connections, and receive support with dignity and respect. Central to our mission is a commitment to standing alongside children, young people, families, and older adults from all backgrounds and abilities, including those with disabilities. We work to ensure that vulnerable, isolated, or struggling individuals have access to the companionship, support, and opportunities they need to thrive.  YMCA is, above all, about listening, responding, and walking with people as they navigate life’s challenges. Across East Ayrshire, more people are turning to the voluntary sector as they experience rising poverty, social isolation, and the pressures of the cost-of-living crisis.
