YMM

The days between Christmas and New Year give us a moment to pause. We’ve been looking back at the young people who joined us this year & the progress they’ve made. We’ve also rebranded, held a brilliant concert & built new connections with businesses who believe in mentoring 🧡

@X Merry Christmas from all of us at YMM! We hope your day is filled with laughter, warmth, and a little festive magic. But we know Christmas isn’t always easy. If today feels difficult, you are not alone Samaritans: 116 123 (free, 24/7) Childline: 0800 1111 (for under-19s)

Today marks the #WinterSolstice, the shortest day and longest night of the year. It’s a reminder that even in the darkest moments, light will always return. As the nights draw in, consider reaching out to someone who might need a little extra warmth, a kind word, or support. 🥰

@X How do you like your #hotchocolate? Marshmallows, whipped cream, or both piled high until it’s more dessert than drink? #Taking5 quiet minutes with a warm mug can do more for your #mood than you might think — a small pause, a #deepbreath, a little comfort in a busy month.

You're #NotAlone This #Christmas 🧡 The #festiveseason can be challenging for many. If you're feeling #overwhelmed, isolated, or struggling with your #mentalhealth. Reach out to someone you trust or contact a mental health service. Support is available,it's okay to ask for #help

Why not pull on your #Christmasjumper and support YMM? Wear your #festive #jumper, donate £1, and help make a real difference. Every pound helps us keep our #mentoring and creative sessions free for young people who need support, comfort and a listening ear 🧡 Donate | YMM

It’s the season of full calendars,but it’s also okay to #slowdown. You don’t have to say yes to everything. If you’d rather stay in, make a proper cuppa, and put on a film you’ve seen a hundred times, that’s perfectly fine. #Winter #MentalHealthMatters #CosySeason #Cosy

Today, we’re saying a huge thank you to every single person who gives their time to help others — whether with YMM or any good cause. You are what keeps our communities strong. #InternationalVolunteerDay #ThankYouVolunteers #YMM #Community #CharitySupport #Volunteering

At YMM, we meet young people who have lost someone they love — a parent, grandparent, sibling or friend. #Grief can show up in so many ways: anger, sadness, confusion, silence. There’s no right or wrong way to feel. #NationalGriefAwarenessWeek #GriefAwareness #YMM #Community

@X😊 It’s Feel Good Friday! Let’s celebrate the little things that made you smile this week, a kind word, a small win, or a moment of joy. Drop your feel-good moments in the comments and let’s spread some positivity together. #FeelGoodFriday #SpreadJoy #YMM

It’s Wednesday, and a great time to pause and celebrate how far you’ve come. #Progress isn’t always about big leaps, sometimes it’s the small steps, the quiet wins, and the moments you kept going when things felt tough.

Taking care of your #mentalhealth isn’t selfish, it’s essential. This week, try to set aside a few minutes each day just for you. Whether it’s a walk, or a quiet moment with a cuppa, small acts of self-care can make a big difference. What’s your go-to way to recharge?

@X What helps you when you’re struggling? We’re opening the comments for honest, stigma-free conversation. Let’s support each other and break the silence. #MensMentalHealth #YMM #ItsOkayToTalk

International Men’s Day November is all about #menshealth, physical, mental, and emotional. We believe every man should have the chance to be their best self. This means speaking up when you need support, checking in with your mates, and taking care of your wellbeing.

@X 💙 #MensMentalHealthMonth 💙 At #YMM, we want every man and boy to know: it’s okay to #speakup. Reaching out for help is a sign of strength, not weakness. This month, we’re encouraging open conversations – whether a chat with a mate, family, or a professional 🧡

@X Small gestures can make a big difference. Today, on #WorldKindnessDay, we’re sharing four ways you can show #kindness that could change someone’s day, or even their life 🧡 #Worldkindnessday #ymm #mentalhealth #mentoring #kindness

@X #RemembranceDay we honour those who gave their lives in war, and those who came home carrying memories they could not lay down. Many faced their battles in silence, when #mentalhealth was little understood. Today we remember the fallen & those who lived with hidden scars 🧡

@X #AntiBullyingWeek takes place from Monday 10th to Friday 14th November 2025, with this year’s theme: #PowerforGood. At #YMM, we’re proud to stand with the #AntiBullyingAlliance and schools across the UK to help young people recognise the power they have to make a difference🧡
