Cove House will soon become home to 8 previously homeless young people from the Torbay area!
Not only will they have a safe space of their own to call home, but bespoke support to find employment and move towards an independent life.🙏
Today our staff team were able to look round, and tomorrow we are offering tours to the local community 🥰

✨Our brand new Christmas film: ‘Inspired by Potential’ is out now!✨
This Christmas, discover what happens when untapped potential meets expert support. 🤝
The film introduces seven YMCA Exeter young people who have experienced street homelessness, sofa surfing or vulnerable housing.
When they moved to YMCA Exeter, we were inspired by their unique potential and were able to give them a safe home and bespoke support to help them achieve their goals. 🎯
Today, they are thriving in meaningful occupation and pursuing their unique giftings and skillsets.
We are so incredibly proud of Dan, Finn, Millie, Poppy, John, Oliver and Magnus for the journey they have been on and for sharing their stories so powerfully. 💙

We are joining @1mactsofhope with #WeekOfAction (13th-20th May) to celebrate the positive, everyday acts of kindness, solidarity and community that happen at YMCA Exeter.
We want to celebrate the staff and volunteers who champion young people and do so much in our local community.
To highlight a selection of services we offer young people in our community, we have:
- Youth Clubs
- Therapeutic Gardening groups
- The Lighthouse Project (employment training and activities for our residents)
- Low-intensity CBT
We can't talk about acts of kindness and seeds of hope without mentioning our brilliant supporters - from those that give one-off donations to those that donate regularly, all of the support we receive makes a massive difference in our work investing in young people! 🤝

Mind and mood in the woods 🌳
Our Community Projects team have been busy running forest schools in the local Devon area, teaching young people outdoor skills, cooking on open fires and having good conversations about mental health and school life.
The young people have particularly enjoyed chilling in some new hammocks and munching on bacon sarnies recently 🥪
