YMCA Campaigners Visit Parliament

Young people from YMCAs across England visited parliament, lobbied MPs and developed their campaigning skills, as part of YMCA England and Y Care International's Changing Your World course.

Changing Your World is an innovative training course that gives young people the skills to be young campaigners, and make a difference in their communities and across the world.

Young people from three YMCAs - Kingston and Wimbledon YMCA, West London YMCA and St Jude's YMCA in Northampton - took part in the three-day course in London.
