Youth Work - Timsbury

Bath YMCA took over the running of this centre in 2009 having successfully run a youth work programme at the site prior to being asked to formally take over the whole project. Whilst it is predominantly a youth centre we seek to serve the community of Timsbury and surrounding areas by making the building available for a variety of different people and groups.

Since taking on the project the YMCA has invested in improving the building internally. We are particularly proud that a group of young people who use the youth club have raised £15,000 to redevelop the kitchen area.

They did this by making a successful presentation to ‘Youth Bank’ a government funding project, who were so impressed by the work and effort of the young people, they awarded the money in full.

Happy people
