A MESSAGE from the
PRESIDENT
Every YMCA is different. That is why the YMCA movement across the world is unique, as each Y responds to the specific needs of its local community. In South-East Queensland alone, our Y has responded to many different local needs, resulting in an extremely diverse range of programs and services. This diversity includes programs for special needs and disability clients, marginalised youth, disengaged and socially isolated people and disadvantaged children. Our YMCA has taken on the challenge of alleviating hunger, combatting a range of societal problems such as obesity as well as meeting the needs of parents seeking quality childcare, recreational enthusiasts, youth leadership and community development. To have impact in all of these areas is not easy. A great deal of time and effort is expended in being a ‘jack of all trades’ but still a ‘master of many’. Our success in such wide-ranging endeavours is due in no small part to our staff, volunteers and fellow directors and I sincerely thank them for their continued passion, exceptional commitment and remarkable dedication to the mission of the YMCA. We are indeed in your debt.
SP RIT
Similarly, our sponsors, donors and long-term corporate partners have continued to support our cause and are instrumental in helping deliver all of the above. What results is a true community effort, and a real impact on the communities around us. A great example is our Schools’ Breakfast Program which grew from five pilot sites just 10 years ago to now supporting communities from over 85 schools with over 500,000 meals served annually. This is an incredible example of identifying a gap and working with others to support the future of our children and youth. As seen in this report, our YMCA is strong and vibrant, forever changing and adapting in order to best serve our communities. We are proud of our achievements, but are always looking forward in our role of creating healthier, happier communities.
Ian Smyllie President
CEO
The last twelve months has seen us take great strides in our goals of providing real opportunities for young people and in creating healthier and happier communities for all. This has been achieved through the continued expansion of existing programs and services, and the addition of some new service offerings. Specifically, our YMCA’s accomplishments this year include: • Establishing new YMCA OSHC operations at Dakabin and Flagstone • Opening our second Specialist OSHC service at Mitchelton. • Achievement of industry-leading assessment and rating standards (NQF) in our OSHC services, which has driven significant growth in attendance across the sector. • Completion of our seventh gymnastics centre in Caloundra, ensuring we remain Queensland’s largest provider of gymnastics programs. • Purchase of a new facility in Kingston that, in 2017, will be activated as a junior campus of the YMCA Vocational School. This new facility will support the continued growth in enrolments seen at our Kingston campus. • Implementation of social impact measurement tools across a wide range of our programs. • Reaching the milestone of over 2.3 million breakfast meals served since 2006, and over half a million served annually in our Schools’ Breakfast Program. • Refurbishment of a former aged care facility to a fifteen bedroom apartment complex; the apartments are fully occupied and the income covers our holding costs. • Construction of a new 56 bed accommodation cabin at Camp Warrawee (Dalziel Lodge). • Extensive refurbishment of the Elimatta cabins and A-Frames at Camp Warrawee, and the North Pine Lodge at Old Petrie Town. • The YMCA passed its annual review with the Australian Childhood Foundation and demonstrated continued compliance with its external Safeguarding Children Accreditation. Whilst all of the above development and expansion over the last twelve months should be celebrated, it must also be tempered by the challenges being faced in some areas of our diverse organisation. We continue to face headwinds from high levels of competition in many areas, including challenges in the camping, fitness and training sectors. The Brisbane short-stay accommodation market is also saturated, resulting in reduced returns from the George Williams Hotel – a cornerstone of our past financial performances. Nevertheless, we feel very confident in being able to continually adapt and innovate, meeting the changing needs of our times.
Alan Bray CEO
The next year will again provide even more opportunities for our YMCA to grow its impact, and to create healthier, happier communities. All of this is only possible due to the extraordinary dedication and passion of a terrific group of valued staff, directors, volunteers, and supporters.

JAMBOREE HEIGHTS
Community Challenge
YMCA Jamboree Heights provided a free program to improve the health of members of their community and to help them to lose weight. The program offered two one-hour sessions, one group fitness session and a weigh in each week as well as healthy eating and lifestyle tips. Of the 53 who started the Community Challenge, 20 completed the full program. Each participant wore a step counter to encourage walking outside of ‘Y’ time, and the total steps recorded were 16,896,518.
MIND
We believe everyone should have the opportunity to be happy, healthy & connected.
Gymnastics provides the foundation of fitness, flexibility and strength beneficial to excelling in many other sporting endeavours. Our commitment to gymnastics and the health and fitness of young people can be seen with the opening of our newest purpose built gymnastics centre at Caloundra.
Along with the increased health benefits, the group also formed a great social connection!
SP RIT YMCA Marlin Coast’s ‘Off Your Rocker’ seniors’ group continues
to go from strength to strength. One of the group’s members was sponsored by the YMCA to complete her Certificates III & IV in Fitness and is now a volunteer instructor. Glyn Donaghy teaches four classes per week and has 30 ‘rockers’ attend each class.
YMCA continues to be the largest provider of gymnastics in Queensland. Operating from seven centres, the YMCA offers recreational and competitive gymnastics from toddlers to adults.

BREAKING E THE CYCLVocatio nal School Simon has Since commencing with the YMCA shown a huge amount of change in his ability to control his often impulsive behaviour around his peers and teachers. However, it was evident that a classroom setting was not suited to Simon and he requested to go out on work experience. With the support of his parents and our automotive trainer, Simon started a work placement at a local automotive business. Simon has done so well with his placement that he has been offered a school based apprenticeship. Simon has responded well to this opportunity, which has helped him mature and be more responsible for his actions.
At the YMCA young people experience student centred programs dedicated to ing practical and personal anc enh skills, at a pace that ensures school attendance, engagement, and confidence are maintained. We believe all young people have the right to achieve their full potential irrelevant of circumstance.

YMCA’s two long day care centres operate in accordance with the National Quality Standards, delivering the Early Years’ Learning Framework, aiming to extend and enrich children’s learning from birth to five years. The centres, in partnership with external organisations, also cater for children with disabilities, allowing them access to quality childcare. The centres also work closely with children from non-English speaking families to help them settle in to the community.

Matt is currently a youth worker n School. He has been in this role for the past 4 months and his passio ary for the role is equally matched by his ability to support junior second n students who are at a high risk of disengagement. He gained this positio ship after he successfully completed a school based youth worker trainee as a YMCA school student. Matt’s first contact with the School was 5 years ago as a 14 year old t who was referred by a mainstream school as he had little or no respec rs teache YMCA t Curren all”. at for his teachers. “He did not like school remember Matt in his first 12 months as a YMCA student who did things the that tested them to their limits. Over time though, he came to value that ing belong of sense the and sense of community within the school listen came with it, and whilst he did not like academic work, he started to when him for alive come to to his teachers more. Things really started lity he was given the opportunity to begin trade training in both hospita school ed attend who t studen a e and automotive and he quickly becam st his regularly and took on more and more leadership responsibility among student peers. In response to his strong leadership qualities, he was approached to determine if he would like to give back by undertaking a school based youth worker traineeship. He remembers being very flattered that his ge teachers now had such faith in him and decided to take on the challen that unity to both live up to that faith and make the best out of the opport that was being given. During his traineeship he excelled and discovered at good youth work, whilst often difficult, was something that he was and in which he wanted to further develop his skills.

Family Day Care educators provide flexible care within their own home, to meet the diverse needs of today’s modern workforce. Some educators offer extended, overnight or weekend care for parents who are "on call" or work shifts.
796 CHILDREN ENROLLED 112,145 DAYS OF CARE
In Home Care targets families who don’t have or cannot access mainstream child care services. This may be because families work non-standard hours, have a children or parent with a disability. It could be during a time when a parent or child is sick or recuperating from illness, multiple birth children, or have three or more children under school age. The YMCA's home based child care programs provide much needed support to the family, allowing parents to undertake paid employment and sometimes, access to much needed respite. The Australian Early Development Census (AEDC), a federal government initiative, provides a map of the development outcomes of children in their early years. YMCA Brisbane Family Day Care and In Home Care are active members of the Acacia Ridge AEDC and have been meeting since 2010 with the aim of decreasing the number of children in Acacia Ridge who are developmentally vulnerable. After six years, results for Acacia Ridge have improved and there are now less developmentally vulnerable children in local schools.

GROWING FRESH PRODUCE
IS EASY!
OSHC SERVICES
The children at YMCA Darling Heights OSHC are enjoying learning about growing fresh produce to eat straight from the garden. April was a time to harvest capsicum and silverbeet and replant new crops. Cherry tomatoes, carrots, spinach and cos lettuce were all planted for the new season. The children are hands on when it comes to gardening and are always very proud to take some produce home to share with their families.
The YMCA Queensland Youth Parliament (QYP) has developed from a basic parliamentary education program in 1996 into a dynamic civic engagement and personal development program that has a meaningful influence on the young people who pass through the program each year. QYP aims to empower Queensland’s youth in body, mind and spirit. The key to this is that QYP is run by young people for young people, and that it gains fantastic support from our elected members of parliament. The 2016 program has seen a considerable increase in youth member engagement and retention. QYP has launched a blog named You Will Find to help ensure the youth of Queensland are heard.
ENROLMENTS
In YMCA Outside School Hours Care (OSHC), we believe that every person, including children and young people, have the right to a healthy, happy life and empower each member to reach their full potential in body, mind and spirit. We do this by providing innovative, fun and safe programs delivered by exceptionally dedicated educators and staff and run a diverse range of programs to deliver the flexible needs of children and families in our community.

Youth Parliament is about finding a place to belong. Belong in your close knit friendship groups, but also finding a place to belong in your community, in your state and knowing that your voice belongs in the public political discourse. I would definitely recommend this program to anyone, and especially anyone interested in how democracy works in Australia. It really empowers young people!

TENANTS
In March, seven members of the YMCA Housing tenant leadership group attended the OzHarvest CEO Cookout. Our group was part of the 300 guests invited to break bread and share a meal made by CEOs and senior business leaders from across Australia’s leading companies and chefs from Australia’s top restaurants. It was an amazing night and the tenants attending were very grateful for the experience and the support given by YMCA Housing staff to attend.
New tenants John and Joy Graham previously lived in a three bedroom double story townhouse, but because of Joy’s disability she could not climb the stairs so John had moved all their furniture downstairs and they had been living in their kitchen/dining area for many years. As the bathroom was upstairs Joy was being sponge bathed daily. John and Joy were so grateful to be given a ground floor 2 bedroom disability unit at YMCA Housing Nerang, Joy in particular was so happy and couldn’t wait to be wheeled into our specially built disability shower. John and Joy got double the good news when another tenant donated her disability scooter which we offered to Joy to help her get around the complex. Both John and Joy are so grateful and humbled by the support and care given by YMCA staff and tenants.
SPRINGFIELD LAKES
COMMUNITY CENTRE A community grant from Bendigo Bank and Lendlease provided the opportunity to create the Dolly Parton Imagination Library, providing a free book each month for 12 months to 60 local children. The benefits of reading from a young age include improved speech and enhanced concentration and logical thinking skills. The Springfield Lakes Community Centre’s programs are as diverse as its community. They include running playgroups, supporting job seekers, holding rock and roll dance classes, music lessons and Weight Watchers meetings and housing domestic violence counsellors. The centre provides an excellent place to meet, have coffee, try a new hobby and develop new friendships.
THE SPACE, NORTH LAKES
The Space North Lakes provides valuable infrastructure to the community, in the form of bookable space for people from the community to meet, connect and hold events and activities. The Space also provides a home away from home as a youth centre for local young people.
COMMUNITY ART Lakes has been conducting
This year, the Space at North a community development art project. The project is aimed at increasing a sense of ownership amongst our young community and also in building an appreciation for street art as a deliberate, artistic piece of work placed in an appropriate public location. Through participating, young people will have a chance to contribute their own small piece to an amazing creation regardless of their personal artistic ability.

I will take this experience away with me, and use the skills I have learnt in my personal life and professional career.” Youth Mentor “ It (mentoring) is amazing. Before I got into this group I was getting into trouble all the time. Now I’m not getting into trouble as much. It’s a fun place where you can trust people. She (mentor) is like my new mum.

Inspired leaders is a five day leadership program for YMCA employees and volunteers aged 18 – 28 years, with the aim to discover what lights them up. Eighteen young people participated in the Inspired Leaders camp in April this year, with seven YMCA staff travelling from interstate. Inspired leaders is a personal and professional development program where participants are asked to spend time on introspection, identifying their passions and what is holding them back. Participants are armed with the tools to make a real difference in their workplaces and in their communities. At this year’s program we were fortunate to have the support of Thomas Stephenson, who shared how attending the program helped his progress from Queensland Youth Parliament volunteer to YMCA Board Member.

OSHC
The whole school community embrace the breakfast club as an integral part of our school day…. Staff and students get to interact with one another in a purely social setting before the start of our core business of learning. The social learning for some of our students is just as important as the academic value, sometimes even more”

Breakfast Program In August 2015, the Schools’ Breakfast Program served its two millionth meal. Marsden State School (one of the original schools that commenced in 2006) hosted this milestone event. Queensland’s Health Minister, Hon Cameron Dick attended the event which was aired by Channels 9 and 10.
531,629 MEALS SERVED THIS YEAR

In its second year of operation, Aspley Specialist OSHC received a rating of ‘Exceeding’ in six out of seven quality areas of the National Quality Framework. The links between the centre and Aspley Special School has grown with attendance of staff and families at the school’s Art and Wine Show and the Trivia Night. Positive feedback was received at these functions about the impact the service has on its families.
“
YMCA is our lifeline and without you in our world we would be absolutely lost. The work and dedication that the staff team and management give every day we could not be without. The positive and happy staff team make every child, regardless of their need, feel welcome and for a parent of a child with a disability, this is most important.
“
“
The Breakfast Program gives us a sense of being cared for and helps us to look out for each other. I have a student with an intellectual impairment and is always sent to school with falling apart shoes, old dirty uniform, not washed. But he gets himself and his brothers to school early enough every day for breakfast club without fail. I think it is a big part of his overall attendance at school – especially coming on time.
Aspley Specialist OSHC services have made several community links. The main link is with the chariety Variety, who arranged for some of the Bronco’s players to visit the service during vacation care. The Broncos brought gifts as part of the centre’s Christmas in July celebrations.
MITCHELTON
In January 2016, YMCA opened its second Specialist OSHC service at Mitchelton Special School. The first six months saw a strong growth in numbers and a new building to accommodate the service. Focus has been on getting to know the young people and ensuring that the highest quality of care is being provided in a fun and friendly environment. Angus has been at Mitchelton Specialist OSHC since we opened in January. He has had a bumpy road settling into OSHC, displaying some challenging behaviours towards staff and young people. Angus is very driven by routine, is non-verbal and often struggles day to day in our care. He requires close support and often resorts to playing on his iPad as a way of calming down. Recently the staff team have been working with Angus to determine what he does and doesn’t like. The team have recently discovered that Angus is a wiz at puzzles. When feeling stressed, Angus is now using puzzles to focus and self-regulate as opposed to resorting to his iPad. As a result this is developing his communication more and even building friendships.

CHARITY GOLF DAY $22,000
The YMCA Charity Golf Day was again a great success. The event raised more than $22,000 to support the work of our two specialist OSHC centres.
Child Safety
The trophy was taken home by the Ridgemill No 2 Team!
It is within the very fabric and identity of the YMCA movement to provide programs and services for children, young people and their families. A child-safe organisation acknowledges that safety does not just happen. It requires conscious action to protect children from harm. It extends guardianship to all children and young people. The YMCA strives for an inclusive society where everyone has the opportunity to reach his or her potential.
Thanks again to Gailes Golf Club and all our other sponsors and supporters for their continued support of YMCA Charity Golf Day.
The YMCA is a movement of people committed to providing opportunities for all people to grow in body, mind and spirit. Caring about the welfare of children and young people is our first consideration so we have developed a suite of policies, procedures and instruments that have been implemented across our organisation and shared with parents and caregivers to increase their awareness and to help protect children and young people from any form of harm or abuse. To help ensure our YMCA is following best practice, in November 2015 we were audited and subsequently reaccredited by the Australian Childhood Foundation. The YMCA of Brisbane has been accredited as a Child Safe organisation since 2008.
VOLUNTEERS
Volunteering plays a large part in what we do. We have volunteers in our Schools’ Breakfast and Mentoring Programs as well as our Youth Programs. Staff and their families also give up their valuable time to assist in the running of sporting and other major events. The importance of volunteers’ roles is regularly recognised with morning teas, lunches and attendance at our annual Christmas functions. Our volunteer program exists as part of our mission to connect people to their communities to live happier, healthier lives. Thanks to all YMCA volunteers who create ripples of change and inspire others!
