children playing

We are proud to host a diverse range of community events designed to educate, inform, and bring together our vibrant local community. Whether organised by the YMCA or by other local groups, our events aim to cater to all ages and interests, fostering a sense of community and personal growth.

Our goal is to make YMCA Taunton a central place where community members can come together to learn, grow, and connect. Please get in touch with us if you are thinking of holding a workshop, talk, class, support group or any other sort of event to see how we can help.
