Training courses and workshops, confidence building sessions and volunteering opportunities.
Page last updated
At YMCA St Paul’s Group, we believe every person should be able to fulfill their potential.
That’s why a range of training courses and workshops, confidence building sessions and volunteer opportunities are made available to the residents in our hostels and move-on houses at YMCA Surbiton by the Community Activities Team.
Training & Education
The team was launched as a response to residents’ requests for more activities and learning opportunities to get involved with whilst staying at the YMCA, and it is being led by experienced staff from YMCA SPG’s Housing Department who are passionate about motivating and engaging residents in their pathway towards personal development, independent living and a better future.
Some of the sessions include personal development, confidence building, introduction to resettlement, arts and crafts, and music and drama workshops.
Feedback from the participants has been overwhelmingly positive. Abdirahman is one of the residents who got involved in the Music Studio sessions at YMCA Surbiton.
Volunteering
An important part of the Community Activities Team’s work, is creating volunteering opportunities for residents both within the YMCA and in the wider community.
Volunteering gets you out and about and I enjoyed it. There was no pressure on us from staff. They were very nice and friendly.
