YMCA Fairthorne Group

YMCA Fairthorne Group is a local community charity, delivering services to over 40,000 children, young people and families across Hampshire and the Isle of Wight. Built on a social enterprise model, all income we generate goes directly back into funding our local community projects and initiatives, from supported housing for vulnerable 16-25 year olds, to our renowned annual Young Carers Festival. Our vision is ‘to be a leader in transforming communities so that all children, young people and families can truly belong, contribute and thrive.’ Today, our staff and trustees are working towards an ambitious 10 year plan of sustained and quality growth as outlined in our Strategic Plan, which is informed by our concept of ‘working the YMCA Way’. YMCA Fairthorne Group has developed rapidly since it was formed in 2002, having supported hundreds of thousands of children and young people across our local region.
