Gymnastics club for all ages and abilities with a second venue at Silver Stars of YMCA. As our name suggests, we are guided by Christian principles.

Barry YMCA is an autonomous association founded in 1890, as a registered charity and is part of the wider YMCA movement started over 165 years ago. We are affiliated to the National Council of YMCA Wales and the YMCA European and World Alliance. The YMCA aims to help all young people belong, contribute and thrive to achieve their potential. YMCA programmes in Barry include, gymnastics, child care, community radio station - Bro Radio, sports and fitness, youth work and personal development programmes. In addition the YMCA is an excellent venue for any meeting or conference with full catering service. Five other charities are based at the YMCA and is also home to a day unit for people with learning difficulties. We comply with the standards laid down by our national organisation, and welcome their expertise, but we are a self-supporting unit, rooted in the community. We pay our own way from the income our activities generate and continuous fundraising. They include recognising that everyone matters and is valued; encouraging them to fulfil their potential in a loving and caring community; and, above all, providing hope. Barry YMCA is a place where people matter. But we are open to all. Whatever your faith, or if or have none, welcome to Barry YMCA.
