West London YMCA works through supported housing, training and development, youth work and children’s activities, open to all and prioritising youth with fewer opportunities.

Young people inspired and enabled to belong, contribute and thrive,
through growth in high quality, sustainable, measurable opportunities.

Inspiring

• inspire hope, change and transformation for young lives
• believe that everyone has great potential
• give the best we can and so inspire others

Inclusive

• everybody matters – everybody should have opportunities to participate
• value and celebrate diversity and difference

Relationships

• create welcoming and caring environments - show love in action
• build relationships on respect, integrity and trust
• when we don’t get things right, restore relationships and try again

The values of West London YMCA come directly from our Christian basis.  These values are not exclusive to Christianity but they are part of our distinctive approach.  We aim to reflect them in all our activities, policies and working relationships.

West London YMCA is an inclusive and diverse Christian movement, welcoming people of all faiths and of none and seeking together to extend the kingdom of God. 

We seek to put this into practice through service to others in our activities, through our values and also through:

Prayer:  Christians associated with West London YMCA commit to pray for the work and the people.

People:  Conducting relationships in the ways that Jesus taught

Passion:  Reflecting Christ’s passion for the world through our passion for our work
