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.

🌱 Grow For Good We have had a great time over the 🌱 Grow For Good

We have had a great time over the last 6 weeks of Grow For Good — our group combining gardening, Low-Intensity CBT techniques, and personal growth to help manage difficult emotions, build confidence, and develop resilience.

Over the course, we covered:
🌱 Planting the seeds of change – CBT basics & growth mindset
🌩️ Weathering the storm – thought traps & problem-solving
🌳 Rooting ourselves – coping with anxiety and big emotions
🤝 Cultivating connections – building a support network

Participants learned a mixture of skills that promote good mental health management and were equipped with problem-solving skills. All whilst connecting with others in a relaxed, hands-on environment, nurturing our YMCA Exeter garden!

We received a mixed response of answers, with votes for Mental Health, Substance abuse and loss of income. The correct answer was Family Breakdown; and we want to show you some of the work we are doing within the Exeter area to support and strengthen families, provide safe spaces for young people and provide that early intervention work.
