From West London YMCA : "Our foundations can be found in a prayer meeting held by 13 young people who gathered at 4 Grove Road, Ealing, on 28 July 1870, to inaugurate a local branch of YMCA. From these small beginnings has grown today’s thriving movement of supporters, 89 volunteers and 229 staff, who serve communities in 4 West London Boroughs."
