Transforming Communities in Gloucestershire Since 1855

Founded on 23rd November 1855, just 11 years after the first ever YMCA in London, YMCA Cheltenham is one of the oldest YMCAs in the world! This year, we are marking an incredible 170 years of supporting the local community right here in Gloucestershire.

YMCA Cheltenham Values

At the heart of our mission is a commitment to foster a supportive, engaged, and meaningful community where everyone is respected and valued. Our Values are, therefore, not just words; they are the principles that guide our actions and decisions every day.

Become a SPACE to THRIVE Sponsor

Help us mark 170 years of YMCA Cheltenham by changing a life right here in Gloucestershire. Through our Space to Thrive programme, your monthly gift of ÂŁ50 provides more than shelter – it gives dignity, hope, and the chance for someone at risk of homelessness to build a fresh start. From welcome hampers to wellbeing support, you’ll be directly investing in people’s futures and showing that our community cares.

Share Your YMCA Cheltenham Story

YMCA Cheltenham has been a cherished part of our community for 170 years. We invite you to contribute to our “170 Stories for 170 Years” collection. Whether you’ve stayed, worked, volunteered, or participated here, please share your experience with us.
