YMCA Youth Group

YMCA Edinburgh Youth Group

YMCA Edinburgh Play services offer free, supervised play for Primary aged children in Leith. The services initially were set up for children living in and around Cables Wynd House. In 2023 we were pleased to receive funding from the People’s Postcode Trust to expand services, specifically to welcome in young people from Ukraine who are here in Leith following the war.

Throughout the school holidays we provide Holiday Playschemes for local Primary aged children.

Delivered in partnership with Pilmeny Development Project (PDP) we offer 2 weekly wellbeing groups for girls aged 8-12 and 12+ in Leith.

YMCA Edinburgh also provides youth work support to the popular Street Soccer football session at Leith Community Centre on Friday evenings for secondary aged young people.
