About This Podcast

As Londonderry YMCA celebrates 40 years at our Drumahoe site and looks ahead to our 170th anniversary, we’re bringing our history to life. Join Project Coordinator Catherine and Archivist Hannah as we sit down with the people who have walked our halls—from the legends of the Rugby and Drama clubs to the staff and young people shaping our future today. Supported by The National Lottery Heritage Fund, this series is a living archive of the memories, laughter, and connections that have defined the YMCA over the last four decades.
