Funded by City of Doncaster Council as part of Remake 2024.


*****
PHYSICAL ACCESS
Our building is old and not all areas are accessible. If you have any queries about this, please get in touch to discuss with us so we can make the appropriate arrangements.

STAFF AND VOLUNTEERS
All staff and volunteers at YMCA Doncaster are DBS Checked. Activity Leaders have reference-checked experience of work with young people. We always have additional staff on hand for difficulties including first aid.

WHAT TO WEAR / BRING
Everyone should wear clothes that they (and whoever does the laundry) are happy to get messy. Please bring a drink in a closeable water bottle. Please don't bring any valuables - we will provide everything needed for each session, and we can’t accept any responsibility for personal possessions.

AGE GROUPS - PLEASE NOTE
Our sessions are for groups in set age ranges. The system will warn you if you’re attempting to book for someone in a different age range. If you book on a session outside the age range, your booking will be cancelled. Please check to be sure that you have entered the correct date of birth for each child.

BEHAVIOUR
We expect everyone taking part to be interested in the session and able to participate without being disruptive to others – we will always do our best to encourage everyone to join in positively, but we may ask you to remove your child if they are disruptive to the session.

ATTENDANCE / CANCELLATIONS
If your child is going to miss a session, please let us know in advance - or as soon as possible afterwards - by emailing louise@ymcadoncaster.org.uk

PHOTOGRAPHY / VIDEO
We will be taking photographs and videos during sessions, including photographs of people taking part and the pieces created in session. These are for use on our own promotional / publicity material, including print material and social media, and may be used similarly by the organisations who contribute to funding the activities. If you have any concern about this, please email louise@ymcadoncaster.org.uk
