VOLUNTEERS at the YMCA Cheltenham
The YMCA has a long history of volunteering. We are one of the largest voluntary organisations in the country. Right from the beginning members were encouraged to care and work for others - indeed our founder George Williams gave up his spare time to the service of the YMCA.

Cheltenham YMCA currently has over 50 volunteers who regularly get involved with our work. Some serve on the Board of Directors, others lead activities (for example, karate or netball), some work in our charity shop (the best in the country!), others raise funds for Y-Care International (the YMCA's own development agency).
