At the end of October the National Assembly was held in the Emmaus Centre Swords. Delegates from 14 YMCAs including staff, volunteers, trustees and young people discussed the strategy required for the development of the YMCA movement in Ireland over the next 3 years. A summary strategy was approved after much discussion and this will now be finalised and put into action from 2012 onwards. The National Council strategy will now be devised which will fit with this vision. A copy of the paper is attached below
