YMCA St Helens

"Here for Young People, Here for Communities, Here for You "


Ready to find your next fundraising challenge?

Whether you're lacing up for a run, taking on a Tough Mudder or braving a bungee jump, your adventure can help change lives right here in St Helens. By fundraising for us, you're not just ticking something off your bucket list - you're making a real and lasting difference.

We support people at the some of the most difficult points in their lives. Our accommodation provides a safe, stable place to stay for those aged 18-55 who are experiencing homelessness, giving them the space and support they need to rebuild and move forward. At the start of life, our nursery offers a nurturing high-quality environment for children aged 0-5 to grow and learn.

Our Early Intervention Youth Hub supports young people aged 11–18, creating a safe space to build confidence, develop skills, and feel part of a positive community. Its Listening Service provides vital mental health support for young people aged 11–25 who are struggling, offering one-to-one sessions that are tailored to each individual's needs and interests to ensure they feel heard, understood and supported. We also run a Community Fridge and Freezer, offering emergency access to up to 72hours of essential food for individuals and families facing hardship whilst they wait for Food Banks and Pantries to open.

So, what are you waiting for? Every step you run, every obstacle you conquer, and every jump you take helps fund these essential services. Find your event, sign up, and start your fundraising journey today. Together, we can create brighter futures - one challenge at a time.
