What the charity does
We are responsible for the day-to-day operation of the YM Community Hall in Longhope. It is a very important hub for our community, providing a warm and welcoming space for people to meet, maintain friendships and build connections. Two of the key elements of our activities are the Friday Lunch Club and the twice weekly Community Cafe which have been operating since September 2022. The Community Hall is available for hire and is used daily by a range of local user groups and for larger community events throughout the year.

Why there's no Clarity Score yet
The Clarity Score is computed from full financial filing history. The YM is on the official register but outside the detailed-filing group we currently score (or awaiting its first filings), so we show its official register record instead of a rating. Its score appears automatically once enough filing data exists — never by payment. How scoring works
