🌞 July at Muddy Puddles Nursery 🌞

A little late with this update but what a fantastic month we had! Our children were busy exploring, learning and growing through a wide range of seasonal activities.

From water play, sand exploration and growing vegetables, to discovering all about themselves through family discussions, future aspirations and creative activities, every day was been filled with fun, curiosity and learning.

It's been wonderful to see the children developing confidence, building friendships and making the most of the summer season through hands-on experiences and outdoor adventures. ☀️

170 years. Two pictures. A lot has changed.
Here is one of our buildings in the 1930s, one of YMCA Norfolk' accommodations today.
Our work has evolved with the needs of young people; from supported accommodation to youth work, family support, wellbeing, education, childcare and more.

One thing hasn’t changed: transforming young lives.

Turn Your Wounds Into Wisdom!

The challenges we face can leave scars, but they can also teach us resilience, compassion, and strength.

At YMCA Norfolk, we see this every day. Young people who have experienced hardship often discover new confidence, purpose, and hope. Their wounds don't define them. The lessons they've learned help shape brighter futures.

This Sunday, take a moment to reflect on how far you've come. The difficulties you've faced may have given you wisdom that can encourage and support others.

Your wounds are not wasted. They can become wisdom.

The Muddy Puddles Nursery Summer Fayre has raised £1009.42 for YMCA Norfolk! It was amazing to have 42 families from the nursery attend, alongside 22 staff who brought along 13 volunteers who supported the setting up, running and shut down of the day.

This led to a turn out of 122 people which was incredible!
A massive thank you to nursery staff for organising such a fun event, and to all those who came to give your support!

Hayley Chadwick, Senior Housing Engagement Worker at YMCA Norfolk, shared this unusual sunflower from YMCA Central.
Like the young people we support, it shows “incredible resilience, determination and strength, often growing and achieving despite difficult circumstances."
