Partnership

Kensington Community Recreation Centre is owned by Melbourne City Council and managed by YMCA Victoria. We work with many community, sports, and government groups to offer opportunities for everyone.

YMCA Open Doors – Financial Assistance

YMCA Victoria helps local people in need become healthier and happier. We believe everyone has the right to equal access to physical, mental, and social well-being.

Many Victorians use YMCA programs, but some cannot due to their situations. By supporting the Y through donating, volunteering, or fundraising, you help provide opportunities for everyone to grow.

Contact us to find out how you can help.

Nutrition

We want to help you and your family live healthier and happier lives through better food and health choices. We have developed a nutrition program with Australia’s leading network of nutrition experts, n4 food and health.
