We often get mistaken for being only a Gym. I mean it’s a pretty great one so 🤷🏾‍♀️ I get it. When I tell people all the other services we run they always say “wow I didn’t know the Y did all that.

Here’s a wee video we put together for a conference our CEO was attending to show all the services we run at the Y.

We are all about building strong kids, strong families and a strong Gisborne community!!!

Last night our tamariki from our early learning centres came together to celebrate Matariki with a Disco.
The theme was “Glow in the dark”. They have been learning in both centres using waiata, arts and crafts, and stories to learn all about Matariki.

Here are some pics from the disco taken by one of our koka.

Due to the weather conditions the AGM that was meant to be tonight has been postponed. New date and venue TBC.

On Saturday the staff celebrated not only the 144th Birthday of the YMCA Gisborne but also their Long Service Awards with a midwinter ball. Here are some of the photos from the photobooth. (The rest will be shared in the staff page 🤣.)
