International Work

Lincolnshire YMCA in Romania

  Our international work is mainly carried out in Romania . We have working relationships with the YMCA which is divided into two parts. The Romanian federation is the Romanian speaking part of the work and operates in a similar way to the YMCA in the UK . We have worked with them on a national and local level giving support to a new YMCA in Oradea for four years. The other YMCA is IKE which serves the ethnic Hungarian speaking population. They are closely related to the Hungarian reform church and support over 25 youth groups across Transylvania . We have helped to refurbish a camp for them and have sent teams to deliver “English Camps” for a number of years.

In addition, we are supportive of European YMCA events and have sent a number of young people to festivals in Prague .
