This campaign celebrates the small things their staff and volunteers do that have a huge impact in transforming the lives of young people across the county.
The YMCA has been established in Norfolk since 1856 supporting and advising various communities. Now, it provides accommodation for young people facing homelessness, provides wellbeing support in the community, runs youth clubs, and has its own Community Hub on Aylsham Road with a cafe, soft play and nursery.
The #thanksYMCA campaign is designed to showcase the wide range of work YMCA Norfolk does. Their aim is to make people more aware of the impact they have locally and how they can get involved. #thanksYMCA will run throughout September, with quotes from young people being shared on YMCA Norfolk’s website and social media. This campaign was created with the incredible support of Creativity Unbound, a creative marketing agency specialising in charities and good causes.
YMCA Norfolk’s CEO, John Lee, said “The #thanksYMCA campaign means so much to me, to honour the dedication and support that our team provide for young people across Norfolk. It’s been amazing to read quotes about how people’s lives have been transformed.”
