Share some feedback and a little information about your time here.
Any information you share about your child’s development at the Glade also helps Belfast YMCA and the Glade secure funding to cover free, subsidised or discounted sessions for families like yours, and could benefit you and your family directly in our future sessions.
We actually read every single comment left for us, and much of how activities at the Glade are organised and structured comes directly from what members of our community like you have shared with our team.
