YMCA New entrance, reception and cafe

Following the successful refurbishment of the main heart of the facilities at the YMCA North Tyneside, GCA Ltd were appointed to create a new entrance, reception and cafe in a run down and vacant part of the existing building. This has opened up opportunities to have a street presence on the high street, provide employment and training to young people and link the new community cafe to the heart of the building.
