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 🏘️

Last week, @simonday_weddings gave a photography t Last week, @simonday_weddings gave a photography taster session for one of our residents in Torbay, covering camera set-up, lighting and portraits! 📷Our resident was able to take some great headshots of some of the staff team during the session. 

We are grateful for business owners like Simon, that invest in our residents as part of our EMOTE programme (Education, Meaningful Occupation, Training and Employment) — a dedicated strand of support for every young person living with YMCA Exeter, Torbay Accommodation.

The EMOTE Programme is a targeted initiative designed to inspire and raise aspirations among the young people who live with us. Its purpose is to create opportunities that many of them may not have had access to while living in unstable or challenging circumstances.

If you are a local Torbay business that has a passion for investing in young people, you can find out more about getting involved with our emote programme via the link in our bio 🔗
Today marks 33 years since YMCA Exeter first opene Today marks 33 years since YMCA Exeter first opened its doors here on St David’s Hill, officially opened by the Right Worshipful the Mayor of Exeter, Cllr. M.J. Rich.

Since then, this building has been a starting point for hundreds of young people rebuilding their lives after homelessness — a safe place to live, and the support to move forward from there. None of that happens without the people who believed in it from day one, and everyone who’s kept it going since.

Want to help make sure it’s still here for the next 33 years? You can write or update your Will completely free (worth £90) through our partner Octopus Legacy — with the option to leave YMCA Exeter a gift, if you choose to. Link in bio 🔗

23 miles across Dartmoor, in a day. Last Friday, 23 miles across Dartmoor, in a day.

Last Friday, more than 30 people from @bishopfleminguk’s Exeter and Plymouth offices walked the Abbot’s Way, the old route across the moor, to raise money for towards YMCA Exeter. Some of our team joined them for it.

It’s a long, wet, hilly way to support a charity, and they did it anyway. Thank you to everyone who walked, and to everyone who sponsored them. The money raised goes straight into our work with young people facing homelessness in Devon.

This came out of our kitchen, not a bakery. Straw This came out of our kitchen, not a bakery.

Strawberry cheesecake, from scratch, made by young people learning to cook.

Are you someone who understands what cooking gives you? The independence of it, the pride in putting something in front of people and saying I made that?

£10 a month could go towards this weekly prep and cook group. Link in bio to be part of The 100.
