The work in supporting young people around Coventry and Warwickshire by the YMCA is only made possible by the generous contributions of the public andthe various funding bodies which support the organisation. CWYMCA expresses it’s deepest gratitude for all the funding assistance that has been provided by all its funders, including those listed here:

In 2009 Coventry and Warwickshire YMCA recieved a substantial funding award from the Youth Sector Development fund in order to improve and rework many of the key areas in which it delivers its work with young people. For more information please see the YSDF page or visit the YSDF website.

In 2009 Coventry and Warwickshire YMCA recieved £2.2m in funding from Myplace in order to build a brand new facility in the Stoke Aldermoor area of Coventry. Over the next few years the construction and development of this new project will ensure Coventry and Warwickshire YMCA are able to deliver the highest standard of service within Stoke Aldermoor.
