Our History

  • Founded in 1855, just 11 years after the first YMCA in London, YMCA Cheltenham began with a landmark meeting at the Old Town Hall on Regent Street. Since then, we've become part of Cheltenham's fabric, expanding across Gloucestershire to empower individuals, strengthen communities, and transform lives.
