Welcome to the YMCA
Guildford YMCA has a long history in the town, and for 21 years has provided safe housing for young people in the Bridge Street hostel along with bed and breakfast accommodation, conferencing and restaurant facilities. Youth work projects based at Plantation in Market Street have further developed the 'YMCA effect' on local young people.

What's new at Guildford YMCA?
A Guildford Town Centre Street Collection is planned for Saturday 28 January. If you see some shivering collectors with blue buckets do give them some cash!
Southern Pro Musica, conducted by Jonathan Willcocks, will perform at Guildford's new premier venue, GLive at 7.30pm on Wednesday 1 February, and Guildford YMCA will benefit from the evening.
Come and join us!
The Sleep£asy Sleepout takes place on Saturday 4 February. From the warmth of your fireside could you encourage our volunteers by making a donation? More information here...
The Surrey Three Peaks Challenge has been devised by local businessman Richard Fox to boost funds for redeveloping the basement of the YMCA building in Bridge Street. Local companies are signing up for this team building opportunity. Read more here...
Staying at the YMCA
