Introducing this year's cohort of Trainee Wellbeing Practitioners! In partnership with @uniofexeter 🎉

Fun facts about our new CWPs:

🥏Esther is an Ultimate Frisbee Pro and loves a good board game night
🎭 Rebecca is a budding actor and loves trying out new recipes
🌲 Polly loves a hike in the beautiful Devon countryside

These guys will be working at YMCA Exeter as part of their training to become Wellbeing practitioners. They will support children aged 5-18 with low mood, anxiety, and behavioral difficulties, helping them build a wellbeing toolkit for life.

We are so excited to have them join our team!🎉

New Year 🔥 New Project!

We recently bought a small forge where we train our residents in basic blacksmithing and metalwork. This is a new strand of our Therapeutic Horticulture project, funded by @tnlcommunityfund

There is nothing like banging a bit of metal to work out your anger, so we are also using these sessions to look at healthy anger management techniques, led by one of our Wellbeing Practitioners Will.

We hope this project will be really empowering for our residents, giving them an opportunity to learn new skills and process emotions.

To celebrate this milestone, our resident Georgia, was invited up to London to be interviewed by @ymcaenglandandwales about her experience of our supported housing for homeless young people. Well done Georgia!
