Family & Youth Work

We believe that every family should have the support they need to develop and lead more fulfilling lives.

Young Carers Service

YMCA Swansea provides tailored support to Young Carers aged 8-18 who may provide care for a family member with a long-term illness, disability, mental health condition and/or dependency on substance use.

YMCA Swansea aims to identify and provide appropriate support to all Young Carers.

LGBTQ+ Youth Support

YMCA Swansea offers a diverse range of LGBTQ+ Support in Swansea and surrounding areas, focusing on providing a safe and inclusive space for young people aged 11-25 to explore their identity.

Y-HUB

Y-HUB is a universal youth group open to all 11-25 year olds. With both a Friday night club (6-8) and a daily drop in 12-5 offering hot food, music and weekly workshops, it offers Young People a safe and friendly environment with professional support.

Y-Talent

Y-Talent has been reimagined to become part of our National Lottery funded drop in project, where music is used as an engagement tool to support young people who have experienced trauma, neglect, substance use, or those have been involved in criminal activity, are vulnerable or are struggling with their identity and self-esteem.

Detached Youth Work

YMCA Swansea deploys trained and qualified Youth Workers onto the streets of Swansea to support children and young people in areas they socialise.
