Happy Volunteers' Week! 💜

This week, we are sending a massive THANK YOU to the incredible team of people who selflessly give their time and talent to support our cause. We quite literally couldn't do it without you! 🙌

Shout out to our amazing volunteer family:

💜 27 Regular Volunteers keeping us moving forward week in and week out.

💜 8 Trustees steering our ship with vital leadership and governance.

💜 1 Strategic Advisor guiding our long-term vision with expert insight.

💬 What's it like to be part of the team? Here is what Colin and Vanya, two of our wonderful Community Meal Volunteers, have to say:

"We love working with the public and serving food to the community. We enjoy helping others."

To every single one of our volunteers: thank you for your passion, your dedication, and the invaluable contributions you bring to our community every single day 💜

Over the past 12 months, we’ve been working hard across our organisation to create real, lasting change 💚

From driving enterprise and sustainability to offering more homes, shouting louder about our work, and helping more people thrive, it has been an incredible year of collective action.

We couldn’t have done any of it without our amazing team, partners, and community. Check out our brand-new Impact Report One-Pager below to see a snapshot of what we achieved together, or head over to our updated webpage to read our strategy updates: ymcanorthtyneside.org/strategy-and-impact

Picnic in the Park 🧺✨

Coming down? What’s going to be on your menu? ☀️👇

The vendor lineup is officially complete, and you are definitely going to want to arrive on an empty stomach. We’ve brought together the ultimate local food dream team for a full day of incredible flavors:

🥪 Truly Torta – Bringing the ultimate picnic-perfect street food with their Mexican tortas. Try the Cochinita Pibil (Yucatan pulled pork with grilled cheese) or the Barbacoa Beef ( Braised beef brisket, grilled cheese Salsa Roja)

🍕 Lucca Pizza Co – Fresh, wood-fired greatness. Keep your picnic classic with a Pepperoni slice, or spice things up with their specialty Nduja (with blue cheese & hot honey) or the namesake 'Lucca' (chorizo & mascarpone). 🍕

🍔 Jam Jar – Pitching up the iconic Jam Van! Treat your crew to gourmet smashed beef burgers, crispy buttermilk chicken sandwiches, and elite sides made for sharing in the sunshine, like Truffle & Parmesan or Nacho BBQ fries. 🍔

🍦Robs Ices – The ultimate park finale. Grab a classic, nostalgic ice cream treat to cool down and finish your perfect picnic day on a sweet note. 🍦

☕ YMCA Cafe Team – Keeping the whole family fueled! Our very own team will be serving up handy kids boxes, sweets, and loads of extra treats to keep the little ones happy. 🎈🍬

Grab your picnic blankets, round up your family and friends, and come hungry. 🙌

On Saturday, we had a brilliant time attending The Charity Football League match at their Spring Party ⚽️

We want to say a massive thank you to Gareth, Team North Charity Football Team and all Men Against Depression And Su***de FC - Tyne & Wear players, who in the run up to the match, fundraised over £1,600! Gareth and the team have been incredible supporters of our work, raising an amazing £10,800 for us to date, and nearly £250,000 for charities right across the UK 👏

Beyond the fantastic fundraising, it was inspiring to hear the players share what this league means to them - from boosting mental health to building lifelong friendships and community camaraderie.

We also want to send a huge congratulations to Gareth, who played his 200th match this past Saturday! What an incredible milestone ⚽️

Thank you all for everything you do to support our charitable work! 🩵

A huge thank you to the incredibly talented ladies at Cullercoats WI for their latest contributions to our Community Blanket! 🧶

We are absolutely blown away by the detail in these three new squares, beautifully capturing the elements of our local area:
⚓ Cullercoats Watch House
⚓ Cullercoats Festival
⚓ Cullercoats Community Hall

These pieces are a wonderful tribute to our local history and spirit. We can't wait for everyone to see them stitched together!

📅 Important Reminder: The Deadline is Looming! If you are working on a square, please remember that the final date for submissions is Friday, 29th May. Drop-off Point: Our Main Reception📍

We need all squares handed in by this date so our assembly team can begin the big task of joining them all together. We want the blanket to look its absolute best for the grand unveiling at next month’s Picnic in the Park! 🧺🌳

Thank you to everyone who has picked up their needles for this project—it’s going to be something truly special 🥰
