YMCA Tenant Reps group - 18-25s


'Float your boat'

In June, 25 out of the 40 residents at the YMCA in London Road, Bevois Town took part in a Boat Building project supported by Community Builders and lead by Colin Jones.

Celebration! - Colin is a talented chap who can pick up a guitar as well as a saw. So once the Catamaran was built, in August it was christened at a naming ceremony that doubled up as a barn dance (accompanied by Colin’s band) and proudly launched in a nearby lake the next day. All in all, a good laugh for everyone involved - and a great way to show the local community outside that when YMCA residents put their minds to something, the results are impressive!
