Specialist Programmes
YWCA Yorkshire has developed a number of specialist programmes to assist young women, children and families to address some of the key barriers to living happy, fulfilled and independent lives. These include poor mental health, domestic violence and lack of educational opportunities. We also believe in giving back to the local community, and where possible, will accept external referrals onto some of our programmes where we have the space.
