One YMCA is a mid-sized nonprofit based in Watford, Hertfordshire, England, delivering programmes and services that address local needs and expand opportunities for young people, from apprenticeships to childcare and youth work. The organization works with people of all ages, faiths and backgrounds within a global network of about 14,000 YMCAs. It has served Hertfordshire communities for more than 127 years and reaches thousands of people each day. Its strategic priorities focus on improving outcomes for young people, tackling homelessness, supporting families, and promoting health and well-being, supported by fundraising and awareness activities. In 2014, YMCA Central Herts merged with Watford YMCA to form One YMCA, strengthening its presence in the county and its ability to deliver services. In 2024, One YMCA acquired Anderson House in Hitchin, reflecting ongoing growth in its footprint in the region.
