The YMCA was originally established in 1922, operating from a modest hut on Squires Gate Lane. During the Second World War, it played a crucial role in supporting troops, providing much-needed services and facilities for those stationed in the area. As its impact grew, so did the need for larger premises, leading to its relocation to St Alban’s Road in Lytham St Annes, where it could better serve the community.
Today, YMCA Lytham has evolved into a multi-purpose leisure centre and sports facility, located at the far end of Lytham. The centre caters to individuals of all ages and abilities, offering a wide array of both indoor and outdoor sporting activities. Whether it’s fitness classes, swimming, team sports, or other recreational pursuits, YMCA Lytham provides something for everyone, promoting health, wellness, and community engagement.
Beyond its sports and fitness offerings, YMCA Lytham also stands as a pillar of the local community, fostering an inclusive environment where individuals can come together to enjoy physical activity, socialise, and develop new skills. With its extensive facilities and commitment to serving all members of the community, the centre plays a key role in promoting active, healthy lifestyles while continuing the YMCA’s long-standing tradition of supporting local residents. Its rich history, dating back to its humble beginnings, is a testament to the organisation’s enduring dedication to community service and well-being.
