Significant events

• “The Charity recorded substantial losses in the financial year ending July 2024 and has again recorded a significant, albeit smaller, deficit in the year ending July 2025.”
• “The closure of YMCA Club in February 2025 marked the end of a remarkable chapter in our history.”
• “The Board of Trustees also took the decision to move away from all direct delivery of traditional health and wellbeing activities, and we closed our smaller Health and Wellbeing site in Moorgate in August 2025 and reduced services at KX in Kings Cross over the summer of 2025.”
• “After the year end, in February 2026 YMCA Awards was sold. The company continues to consider its options for the future of its YMCAfit business unit.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
