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.

📩 In our May newsletter we share some reflections 📩 In our May newsletter we share some reflections from Magnus, who used to live at YMCA Exeter, on his recent trip to a land cooperative project thanks to a grant from South West YMCA Trust Fund. 

Magnus returns to YMCA Exeter every week as a volunteer to teach green woodwork skills to residents, and the trip gave him the opportunity to spend time developing his crafting skills. 

Pictured are some of the amazing crafts they got to create, including shrink pots and rush hand brooms.

Last week at the #LetsChalkAboutMentalHealth event Last week at the #LetsChalkAboutMentalHealth event in @princesshayexeter  our Children's Wellbeing Practitioners set up a variety of activities to get young people talking about mental health 🗣️A few of these activities included:

🌿Plant a positive thought - children and young people could colour in and write on paper leaves/flowers with a coping skill, kind message or something they are proud of. This was then added to our wellbeing tree. 

🎯Spin the Wheel - spin the wheel to land on a mental health themed question, which was a great conversation starter. 

🪨Pebbles - we provided pebbles decorated with encouraging messages and verses that children could draw on and take home with them. 

🫙Lucky Dip -  jars filled with relaxation and breathing techniques catered for both children and adults, plus a sweet treat or two to takeaway! 🍫
