YMCA Blackburn
Blackburn YMCA was established in 1896 in the Limbrick area, moving in the 1960's to its former home Edinburgh House, on Clarence Street. Our latest move has seen us moving to premises on Wellington Street St John's.
Our client group and services has changed over the years and reflects changes in society. Currently we work with the following groups:
* Those at risk of offending
* Young people seeking accommodation on release from a young offender's institute.
* Young people working towards achieving Youth Achievement Awards.
* Young people who have formed a youth forum that examines and considers local and national issues.
* Music club
* Youth Clubs
There is now a need for housing for homeless young people and ex offenders and we see this as the next logical step in the development of our services.
