It's fun to shop at the (Leamington) YMCA ... store

Shoppers, there’s no need to feel down because a new YMCA shop is coming to Leamington town.

The branch will open soon at the large ground floor unit of the Royal Priors shopping centre, which was previously occupied by Wilko.

The YMCA (Young Men's Christian Association) is a global youth charity focused on empowering young people and communities through supported housing, health and fitness, childcare, and skills training.

Founded in London in 1844, it claims to be “the world's oldest and largest youth-focused charity”.

YMCA charity shops sell a wide variety of donated, second-hand items including clothing, books, DVDs, music, toys, and homeware.

Many locations also specialise in affordable furniture, such as sofas and tables, and some also stock new goods and high-end items donated by corporate partners.
