Support Our Vision
The YMCA is a well-established charity, built on 150 thriving years of working with young people. We work to stabilise, excite, innovate and motivate, whilst never losing sight of our central focus of encouraging and inspiring young people to be the best that they can be.
We are the country's largest provider of accommodation to homeless and vulnerable young people. We are committed to offering support and guidance to young people, developing programmes of local relevance and national significance.
The Woking YMCA offer programmes and support to see people develop in every area of their lives.
We work with some of the most vulnerable and isolated members of society so by supporting our work - in whatever way you can - you can help ensure our valued work continues...

Justgiving is safe, simple and tax-friendly.
Visit our fundraising pages at www.justgiving.com/wokingymca and follow the onscreen instructions to make a one-off or regular payments.
Payroll Giving
Payroll Giving is a safe, flexible scheme that enables you to make charitable donations straight from your gross salary (before tax has been deducted). This means that you get immediate tax relief on the value of your donation.
Therefore, for a basic rate taxpayer wanting to give a £10 donation, it will only cost £7.80, or just £6 for higher rate taxpayers.

Working Together
The YMCA recognises the invaluable support offered by the business sector and always endeavours to work alongside companies in a partnership that embraces creativity whilst consistently working professionally.
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and your activities within this area have never been higher on the agenda for businesses, your customers, investors and other stakeholders. Community investment offers a measurable means to demonstrate your commitment to the social aspect of corporate responsibility.
We can arrange for staff to visit local YMCAs for a chat to find out more about what we do and to join in volunteering opportunities. The chance to see first hand the difference their support makes to the work of the YMCA will undoubtedly boost staff morale, motivation and understanding of why your company supports the YMCA.
We will provide a dedicated liaison manager to ensure that you are kept up-to-date with the work of the YMCA, and when relevant, to facilitate meetings, events and PR and fundraising initiatives.
Together we can devise a programme that will fulfil some of the requirements you have to effectively deliver a complete CSR package.
