On the 17th June, women of the YMCA went to HAWK for a day working in a traditionally male role! We started off doing First Aid. Some of the residents had a go on the 25 tonne dumper truck… …whilst others played basketball with a forklift truck!
YMCA Crewe were delighted to receive a donation of £25,000 from the Swansway Group at the Crewe Pledge Celebration. These funds will be used to support the YMCA Talentscape programme.
The YMCA Crewe Panto is on its way. Rehearsals started this week for Snow White and the Seven Dads. This photo is of the cast having the first read through in the Glo Room.
We had a great time yesterday with face-painting, smoothie-making, balloon-twisting circus-tricking, cheesecake-cupping, wall-climbing fun!
6 contestants battled it on Bank Holiday with flour, icing sugar and an abundance of enthusiasm.

Young people welcomed Dr Adrian Heald to the YMCA this week and gave him the guided tour. Dr Heald chatted with Leif on the Car Mechanics course, as well as Marie, Tweets and Ash, and had lunch in the WhistleStop Café.
The guys on Ern’s Hard as Nailz course have worked with one of our neighbours to pave the space in front of their house. A great community, a great project.
Seven young people living at YMCA Crewe have been selected to take part in a six week football training camp at Manchester City Training Centre, starting in April. Well done guys!
Residents at the YMCA build up Talent Points through volunteering and engaging in training activities; these points can be “cashed in” for equipment or courses that will improve employment prospects. Recently Leif took a series of driving lessons and passed his test with flying colours. Congratulations Leif!
