MORE than 100 people attended a thanksgiving service to celebrate Redditch YMCA's silver jubilee on Sunday.

The service at Trinity High School began with the YMCA's Art Club parading specially made banners through the hall, which will be displayed at the YMCA's Church Hill premises throughout jubilee year.

Church Hill Middle School Dancers, Lucy's Dance Classes and Jon Griffiths, a New Deal placement worker with the YMCA's reception team, were among those performing.

All four past and present general secretaries also attended and Church Hill Christian Forum provided a buffet.
