Registered charity 1149008 · accounts filings on the Charity Commission register · also known as PORTHCAWL YMCA

We seek to contribute to the life of the community of Porthcawl, primarily, but not exclusively, in terms of providing services for children and young people. Many activities we run ourselves, with a variety of paid and voluntary help, but we also make the building available to other organisations that want a town centre venue for one-off or regular activities.
