Annual Review 2022

Leanne Young & Jonny Currie - Co-Chairs YMCA Ireland

In the past three years, YMCA Ireland has faced huge challenges; changes in government policy, staff turnover, funding shortages and the impact of the pandemic. We have embraced these, seeing them as opportunities to evolve and adapt and continue to support local associations and deliver high quality programmes and services across the island.

One of the most exciting accomplishments this year has been the publication of our new Strategic Plan.

This strategy details the way we shall go forward, and is specific, actionable and accountable. Thank you to the young people, staff, local associations, and volunteers for their input. It’s an ambitious strategy, reflecting our shared commitment to delivering programmes and services and how we support our local associations. As always, we will hold true to our vision, creating a world where young people, their families and communities flourish in body, mind and spirit.
