About Us
Lymm Youth & Community Association Limited (referred to on this site as LYCA) is a local registered charity set up to operate and safeguard the Lymm Youth & Community Centre (LYCC) for the people of Lymm.
​
The centre was built in the 1960s as purpose-built youth club in a scenic setting by the Bridgewater Canal in Lymm village centre. With the support of Lymm Parish Council and the wider community, we have secured a Community Asset Transfer from Warrington Borough Council. The building is now leased to LYCA, and we are acting on behalf of the community as a whole. There is a management meeting at least once every two months, and all meetings are open to the public.
​
We are accessible and supportive and we organise a wide range of events to help build a stronger community.
The centre has been used by many local community organisations, including:
