B&Q Goole

YMCA Robin Hood Group (formally Nottinghamshire YMCA) was established in 1871 to develop the mind, body and spirit of individuals, families and communities. Our passions are youth development, healthy living and social responsibility. Our values, based on Christian ethos, responsibility, honesty, respect and caring are the core themes of our programmes. We provide a variety of user-led programmes across Nottingham and Nottinghamshire, such as supported accommodation for both homeless adults and children in care, outdoor education, digital media and the arts, supporting some of the most vulnerable and disadvantaged community members into volunteering, employment and training. We ensure that everything we offer is fully inclusive and accessible, working specifically in disadvantaged areas. Donations will be used for the following: Supported Accommodation for homeless people including our hostel and Transitional homes in the community; Residential Care Homes for Looked After Children; Children's Services such as Day Camps and Childcare; Youth Services such as Outdoor Education, Creative Arts and Digital Media; Health and Fitness, improving health for All Communities. We YMCA specialise in supporting hard-to-reach, challenging, vulnerable and disadvantaged groups. We are proud to deliver innovative programmes that make a positive difference to people, raising aspirations and supporting some of the most disadvantaged and marginalised people across the county. The disadvantages these communities face, include financial, disability, social, mental, physical, homelessness, among others. We provide direction, guidance and support and are committed to delivering high quality, accessible, life-changing, development opportunities that improve people’s health, education, confidence, transferable life skills, increase positive behaviours, and encourage them into education, employment or training.

Moorlands Youth and Community Centre supports the Youth and Community of Old Goole, Goole and surrounding villages. We provide a safe and secure place for people to discuss, coproduce, and promote activities and services that are important to them. We believe in empowerment and Social Action, listening to needs and desires, and supporting the youth and community to reach aspirational goals. We provide: Youth Provision - supporting young people through prosocial activities Community Welcome Space - supporting the community by providing and coproducing services and activities they need and desire. Lunch Club Pantry Service Donation Support - supporting local stores to reduce waste and the local community through food donation support.

We currently support children aged 4 to 18 years who will typically have a wide variety of learning difficulties, Autistic Spectrum Conditions and medical or sensory impairments that present a barrier to their learning. However, we have recently changed our designation to include pupils with complex and severe learning difficulties and those with profound and multiple needs. To support this provision we now have two new extensions that include nine classrooms, a Hydrotherapy pool, a new hall, gym, sensory room and several small group rooms. A refurbishment of our existing school building has also now been completed which will see our age range will expand from 2 years old to 19 years old.
