activities

Greenhill YMCA offers activities which are both fun and challenging while helping to develop individual's skills. We encourage and facilitate the character building elements of both over-coming a personal challenge and working as part of a team.

 

Activities take place either in our extensive grounds or in the surrounding local area e.g the Mourne Mountains, Castlewelland Forest Park and Lake, Tollymore Forest Park and Tullymore Mountain Centre.

Special Needs

Our caring staff have wide experience in developing and delivering courses for groups that include those with specific needs.

Safety Standards at Greenhill YMCA

The safety and enjoyment of individuals are of the utmost importance to us at Greenhill YMCA. Thats why fully trained and qualified outdoor instructors who have experience of working with a wide variety of people lead all our activities. Every instructor holds a first aid certificate and all are police screened.

As some of our activities are intended to be challenging, risk assessment is an integral part of our initial and ongoing staff training. A formal risk assessment of each activitiy is undertaken regularly with the help of external assessors.

All Greenhill YMCA equipment meets current safety standards and we ensure a a regular replacement programme is followed.

Greenhill YMCA hold Public Liability Insurance with a single claim limit of £5 Million.
