The YMCA movement was founded in 1844 in London by George Williams. While learning the drapery trade George Williams held prayer meetings and Bible Studies in his lodgings with other young drapery assistants. It was not long before the group expanded, drawing to it young men who were alone and lonely in the City of London.
From this it quickly grew. George Williams and his friends recognised they should not just serve young Christians but they should work with all people and meet the needs of all those with whom they worked day by day.
The YMCA remains a Christian and Voluntary Organisation and today has grown into an International Organisation operating in over 100 countries world wide with some 30 million members and programme participants. In England there are over 150 Local Associations of which Cheltenham YMCA is one.
Cheltenham YMCA was founded in 1855, and is a registered Charity Number 1079951. The charity was incorporated as a Company limited by guarantee on March 2000 (3930834). Cheltenham YMCA is also a registered Housing Association Number HA4270.The Registered Office of Cheltenham YMCA are located at 6 Vittoria Walk, Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, GL50 1TP.
Cheltenham YMCA is governed by a Board of Directors and the governing instrument is its Memorandum and Articles of Association agreed on incorporation in March 2000. |
