We have a few tools that help you manage rent.

We use PayPal for making rent payments.

 

You don’t need to have a Paypal account for this!

After the first screen that asks for the payment amount, select the button that says “Pay by Debit or Credit Card”. This will bring you to a screen asking for payment details.

Please don’t ignore it if there is a problem with paying your rent.

Please get in touch and discuss whats happening with your support worker (if you’re in stage 1 or 2), or your tenancy worker (if you’re in Exwick, or Sidwell Studios).

If rent has been missed, we will ask you to fill out a rent repayment agreement. This ensures that everyone knows what rent you expect to pay.

YMCA Exeter operates a charitable donation Rent Bursary scheme that helps young people who are currently living in our Newcourt accommodation to be able to enter into full time employment.

This is because as your income from your employment increases, the amount you receive from Housing Benefit decreases.

Please speak with your support worker to find out more about this, and if this applies to you.

We have several rent calculators to help you estimate how changes to your income will impact your housing benefit and your top-up.

your favourite local youth, homelessness and wellbeing charity 🏘️

Inspired by Potential - Meet John, London Marathon Inspired by Potential - Meet John, London Marathon finisher! 

Once homeless and using the charity Nightstop to find a bed every night, John found it really hard to set goals for his life.  But moving to YMCA Exeter gave him the gift of stability to make a start. 

Then two years ago John joined the YMCA Exeter running group, ran couch to 5k, then a 10k and then a half marathon - and finally this year completing the iconic London Marathon route!

Meet Poppy, a certified Movement is Medicine Instr Meet Poppy, a certified Movement is Medicine Instructor 💛

Before coming to YMCA Exeter, Poppy’s housing situation was very stressful. She was sofa surfing, depressed, and then became extremely sick and was hospitalised. 

A few years later, while living at YMCA Exeter, Poppy discovered how moving her body helped her mentally and physically, and started training to become a Movement is Medicine instructor. 

Poppy now works with women who have struggled with addictions and with young adults with learning disabilities through @the_pelican_project 

Once feeling very alone, Poppy has found safety, support, and a new line of employment, made possible by her own sacred space and the loving support of YMCA Exeter staff.

Poppy’s story features in our Christmas film, which you can watch via the link in our bio!

Meet YMCA Exeter resident Finn, a musician and son Meet YMCA Exeter resident Finn, a musician and songwriter. 🎸

After facing homelessness, Finn moved into YMCA Exeter and found that time in the YMCA music studio, singing and playing guitar, helped him express himself.

Over six months he’s learned Logic Pro and co-written a song called 'Asscend' with YMCA Exeter Group Work Coordinator, Tim.

Finn told us, "Throughout my time at YMCA Exeter, they’ve given me the gift of support. They’re always encouraging me and willing to pray with me. Without them, I don't know if I would have made it this far."

Congrats Finn on all you have accomplished - we are so excited to see (and hear!) what you create next!
