Making music with your baby is a great way to help develop their brain and language skills, as well as offering a unique and fun bonding experience for you and your little one.

Southend YMCA has extensive experience in mentoring and coaching. Whether it’s younger children, young people in the transition to adulthood, or young adults who are unemployed our personalised, strengths-based approach has helped individuals to achieve their goals, overcome barriers and develop self-esteem and confidence.

FYV is a brand-new initiative funded by The National Lottery Community Fund that empowers young people to have their voices heard on the issues they care about.

The project not only listens to the concerns and aspirations of young people, it also provides them with the opportunity, skills and resources to take a pro-active role in making a real difference to their community.
