Introducing this year's cohort of Trainee Wellbeing Practitioners! In partnership with @UniofExeter🎉 These guys will be working in our Wellbeing project, supporting children aged 5-18 with low mood, anxiety, and behavioral difficulties.

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. A big thank you to @TNLComFund #Awards4All for funding it!

Thank you to @YMCAEng_Wales for interviewing our resident Georgia about her experience of supported housing! Great way to celebrate 180 years of YMCA 🎉

'I'd be on the streets, in prison or dead' says care leaver Andy as he backs @YMCAExeter in their fight to build more housing. But the charity is 'in danger' of losing £4.1m if Torbay Council doesn't approve plans by March. Full story ⬇️🎥 @itvwestcountry itv.com/news/westcount…

Torbay Council rejected our proposal to provide 18 homes for local young people in #Paignton. If the Council cannot find a way to support us, they face losing millions in government funding, which would provide much-needed housing for care-leavers. (2/2) buff.ly/3D8ucW2

Today, we placed 469 flags around the 'Care Leavers' tree planted by #Torbay Council in Paignton, to remind the Council of their pledge to support #CareLeavers by creating a visual display representing the 469 care-experienced young people currently living in Torbay. (1/2)

This display will act as a reminder to the Council of their pledge to support #CareLeavers and draw attention to the urgent need for move-on accommodation in Torbay. (4/4) buff.ly/3D8ucW2

Tomorrow, young people will be gathering to plant 469 flags around the Care Leavers Tree at Victoria Park in #Paignton to represent the number of Care-Experienced young people currently in Torbay. (3/4)

We need Torbay Council to actively help us establish properties for care-experienced young people: A thread (1/4) buff.ly/3D8ucW2
