Wolverhampton YMCA started life in the Pendeford area of the city and that is where, from Dovecotes Community Centre, we still maintain a strong presence, helping older people to meet together and share activities and social events that, were it not for our support and organisation, they might otherwise not experience.

Over the next few years, the YMCA's experience in operating community support will be extended to more communities in Wolverhampton.

Under the enthusiastic support and leadership of our local manager, Sylvia Simpson, we have delivered a wide variety of activites and events throughout the year, including:

• 50+ Club - members meet and go on shopping trips and outings together
• Walking for Health - a fortnightly ramble
• Book and tape libraries for the housebound
• Coffee mornings, art & craft sessions
• Seasonal events
• Annual family outing to the seaside
• Bingo twice weekly
