Grantown on Spey YMCA Community Centre (SCIO)

Constitutional objectives

The purposes of the organisation are: 4.1 To organise provision of recreational facilities in order to provide a safe environment and to promote the acceptance of all people regardless of disability, ethnicity, religion/faith, culture, gender, sexual orientation or social class. This will reflect the inclusive Christian ethos of the YMCA movement and information and materials in relation to Christianity may be available for those who wish further knowledge. 4.2 To advance educational opportunities by organising programmes through activities and discussion either within the premises or externally. Included in these would be the opportunity to promote development of citizenship and health, in such a way, that the young people make better choices for themselves. to promote a healthy lifestyle by organising awareness sessions on subjects such as alcohol and drug abuse and providing an environment where these can be discussed in an open and honest manner. 4.3 To promote citizenship and develop community spirit by encouraging young people to consider their environment and engage in intergenerational activities to bridge the gap between young and old. 4.4 To support and advance young people to reach their potential by overcoming barriers that would normally exclude them, eg age, ill health, disability, financial hardship, racial discrimination and social class. But such that the charity shall do so following principles of sustainable development.
