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?
The Surrey Three Peaks Challenge took place over the weekend of 28-29 April - but given the adverse weather conditions some who planned to walk on Saturday have deferred until a more clement date. However many others went ahead, and we're hearing reports of perseverance despite mud and downpours. Well done to these noble souls! We appreciate a 26 mile walk with hills was all the more challenging with the rain and mud. We have some photo evidence of the event in progress, and we wish those who have deferred well in finding an alternative and altogether drier date!
