In May 2008 Halton YMCA moved into the old Transporter Building on Mersey Road, West Bank, Widnes.

The use of the building was supported by Halton borough Council to encourage opportunities for Training and Development for local residents and people from across Halton.

Currently Halton YMCA are delivering programmes to support IT skills, Effective Parenting, Self Development, Health & Safety awareness, First Aid and Paediatric First Aid. We also offer Information, Advice & Guidance, benefit advice and Working Tax credit calculations as part of the service. Join Halton YMCA on our ‘Open Day’, the doors will be open on Friday 18th July 2008, at 10.00am until 2.30pm. There will be refreshments available throughout the day, so join us for breakfast, lunch or even an early afternoon tea, and for younger children there are crèche facilities and supported play activity available on the day.

People will be able to see the range of activities and opportunities available to them and see what is currently being delivered by Halton YMCA staff. There will be a chance to meet staff from other local agencies and the YMCA training team plus an opportunity to look around the building and available facilities.

A new community café will also be open here 2 mornings a week, so why not pop in for tea, toast and a chat… everybody is welcome!
