Celebrating milestones at YMCA Wimbledon
This week we marked a major milestone in the redevelopment of the YMCA Wimbledon. Despite the weather, the Mayoress of Merton, Councillor Joan Henry, the Deputy Mayoress of Merton, Councillor Agatha Akyigyina OBE, the Deputy Leader of Merton Council Councillor Eleanor Stringer, and local ward representative Councillor Paul Kohler joined us on site for a ‘topping out’ ceremony.
The new, state of the art building will provide 121 ensuite hostel rooms with shared kitchen facilities, giving residents a better quality of life and supporting them back into independent living. YMCA residents and the Wimbledon community will also benefit from new and improved, affordable facilities, including a gym, bigger studio space for fitness classes, a children’s area and brand-new YMCA café.
