Great to visit the brilliant new YMCA City Gateway site in #Wolverhampton as part of my work on #EDI for YMCA England & Wales. YMCA Black Country courageously offered to be the first YMCA in the country to pilot a new national EDI standard! I’m finding out how their assessment visit has gone.

If you are wanting to give financially to support communities in Ukraine at this time I can thoroughly recommend YMCA Europe... They have many years experience of peace initiatives in the region as well as the ability to distribute and use resources well. Please retweet...

Praying for our friends and colleagues in YMCA Ukraine 🇺🇦 Stay strong in the middle of this awful madness. The peace of our Lord and much love xx YMCA Black Country YMCA Europe youtu.be/KHSmLt2eOOw

Many of us have had the honor of shaking hands with Father Yevgheny at some point. A model, an example of simplicity, kindness, and peace. We are glad to know that he is safe in Kirovohrad - doing what he does best - helping people in need.

Great to be celebrating #WorldCultureDay YMCA Black Country with WolvesMayor

YMCA has a long history of providing assistance to refugees. Read Rose's story about how she partnered with our YMCA Open Door team to provide a safe haven for Abu, a young Sudanese refugee: bit.ly/3tGJvef #WorldRefugeeDay #YMCA

Last week I recorded this warning to u and to Conservative leadership candidates that a financial cataclysm'd hit the UK this winter unless there is action. Then the Oct price cap was predicted to rise 65% taking typical bills to £3,240/yr. Now, its UP 77% to £3,500. Pls watch

Excited by YMCA Black Country new Nursery Curriculum. Great to share the launch with colleagues nationwide. YMCA England & Wales

It's #WorldPhotoDay 📸 We believe that sharing some amazing images that demonstrate what YMCA Black Country Group is all about is simply the best way to commemorate today. #YMCA
